Scaphari's Journey Down the Guadalquivir River
<p>Discover the Guadalquivir marshes through the history of their ancient riverbeds and their inhabitants, both past and present.<br><br>The ancient branches of the Guadalquivir define the municipal boundaries of La Puebla del Río, which is made up of its islands (Isla Mayor, Isla Menor, Isla Mínima…). Once a vital hub for trade and development, this area—even today, with the Guadalquivir in its current form, retains the title of Spain’s only navigable river. Today, it is home to Spain’s largest rice paddy, which forms part of the Doñana Biosphere Reserve and Natural Area.<br><br>We will explore the history and evolution of the region over time.</p>

Horseback Ride to Vado del Quema in Doñana
<p>Horseback riding tour accompanied by a guide/instructor and a specialized support vehicle, departing from the Hípica Las Minas facilities (next to the Las Minas Golf Course, Aznalcázar – Seville). <br><br>The route passes through the Aznalcázar Pine Forests, one of the most ecologically significant forest areas within the Doñana Biosphere Reserve. The varied vegetation of pine forests and Mediterranean scrub gives the area great scenic value and creates an ideal ecosystem for birdwatching.<br><br>During the fall and winter, you can spot wintering passerines from northern Europe: warblers (Phylloscopus sp.), titmice (Parus sp.), and endemic species such as the blue-eared bulbul (Cyanopica cyana) and the Moorish sparrow (Passer hispanoliensis). These ecosystems are also home to birds of prey of great ecological value: the Iberian imperial eagle, the black-winged kite, the red-tailed hawk, the tawny owl, and the eagle owl. In spring and summer, many of these species use the forest to nest, making the area a prime spot for birdwatching.<br><br>The route continues to the Guadiamar River, where it follows an elevated section offering beautiful views of the riparian forest and, behind it, of Aznalcázar on the Aljarafe cliff. The route culminates with the traditional crossing at Vado del Quema—a mandatory stop for the religious brotherhoods on their pilgrimage to El Rocío—and returns to the equestrian center to conclude the itinerary.</p>
