This walk has no real start or end. THe best thing to do is choose one end of the city and walk along the river bank to the other end of the city. One greta thing about smaller Spanish ciies is that the just stop - there are no endless zones of suburbia, they just stop. The Guadalquivir is an old majestic lady of a river. She is lazy and almosts creeps her way through the city. THe river is seriously low and this has caused hundreds of islets which are home to o thoudands of birds. As your walking along the bank, it is possible to jump onto oone of these islands and then another and another. This allows many to find that perfect picnic spot.
A walk along the Guadalquivir is an exercise in serenity. She is calm, life giving and captivates the casual passer-by. It's best to walk along after three - the sun is still burning but is not scrorching.
A walk along this river is a personal odyssee - you choose your own spot to rest and your own little islet for reflection
