Villages and rivers: a love story
Historic bridges
Besalú (Girona) with its fortified Romanesque bridge, Cangas de Onís and the Roman bridge over the Sella, Frías (Burgos) with its medieval bridge. Structures that have been connecting riverbanks for centuries.
Swimming pools and bathing areas
Las Hurdes and its river meanders, the Vera of Cáceres with its gorges, the rivers of the Sierra de Gredos. Natural alternatives to crowded beaches.
Canyons and gorges
The Hoces del Duratón (Segovia), the Cañón del Río Lobos (Soria), the Hoces del Cabriel (Valencia). Spectacular landscapes carved by water over millennia.
Water activities
Canoeing on the Sella (international descent every August), kayaking on the Ebro, fishing in the trout rivers of the north. The river as the star of leisure.
Tip: Respect the designated bathing areas. In summer, northern rivers maintain water while southern ones may be almost dry. Check the conditions before going.
