Seville Practical Guide

SPORTS

Due to its excellent climate and its physical geography, Seville is an ideal place to take part in a variety of sports. The city has two football stadiums, an Olympic stadium, a specialized high performance rowing and canoeing centre, a sports hall and the opportunity for water sports on the river. Numerous sporting events are held in the city, one of the most important of which is the Marathon, which is one of the most important to take place in our country and is run in February. A marathon where you can enjoy one of the fastest courses in Europe, with few hills. Together with the weather in Seville at this time of year, that make this trial the ideal one where you can try to reduce your personal best. In addition, the design of a new circuit that runs through the city’s most emblematic and characteristic locations, converts the more than 42 kilometres of its route into a real treat for the eyes. www.zurichmaratonsevilla.es Other events to note are the Spain long distance rowing championship, the Spain canoeing championship, the City of Seville triathlon, the Guadalquivir Night Race, the Sevilla- Betis Regata, etc. And football fans will have the opportunity to visit the two great stadiums of the city: Sevilla FC Stadium ( www.sevillafc. es ) and Real Betis Stadium ( www.realbetisbalompie.es )

Lovers of golf can play the courses in the city itself and in the province of Seville, located in exceptional areas with beautiful landscapes and immersed in nature. The excellent climate allows this sport to be enjoyed during every month of the year.
