Puerto Gelves

The only river port of its kind in southern Europe. Only 3.5 kilometers from Seville is Gelves, a beautiful Andalusian town that has been and is synonymous with water. To its ancestral sources and natural springs, we must add its historical connection with the Guadalquivir, through which ships belonging to the Carrera de Indias and other well-known voyages passed. Thanks to its port, Gelves was able to recover its seafaring tradition, and materialize the dream of becoming the only freshwater winter sports port, totally safe and equipped in Andalusia. Its enviable physical characteristics and excellent location make it an ideal setting to host events of a cultural, sports and tourist nature, as evidenced by its important Nautical Fairs, the Occasion Boat Fair, Craft Shows, the River and Sea Gastronomic Fair, etc. The calm waters of the Guadalquivir and its high level of safety make it an ideal place to spend long periods of time and perform the much-needed maintenance work on the boats. It also offers its clients a cultural, sports, leisure and gastronomic offer typical of both the town of Gelves and the Aljarafe region and the Capital of Andalusia, Seville.
