A Stroll along the Guadalquivir: Route along the old road between Cordoba and Seville

A Walk along the Guadalquivir: The route along the old road between Cordoba and Seville begins after crossing the old bridge over the Guadalquivir, near the Guadalquivir River Visitor Centre and in the lower part of the Chapel of Belén.

The path passes near the Palma del Río railway station and continues towards the west along a dirt track where we'll be able to see the Guadalquivir. Before going up a small hill, you can reach the banks of the “great river”, in an area dominated by dark stones, a place that offers magnificent panoramic views of the area.

The route ends at the Retortillo River, where you'll see three bridges over the tributary which separates the provinces of Cordoba and Seville. The most interesting bridge is the one of Roman origin between the railway bridge and the main road bridge. All that remains of this old bridge along the Roman road connecting Cordoba and Seville, the Via Augusta, is an arch on the far bank of the Retortillo, in the district of Peñaflor.
