Discovering inland Spain

Sailing far from the sea

Sailing inland? Of course! On board a sightseeing boat on the river. Don't be satisfied with simply taking photos from the riverbanks, but step on board to discover all the natural spaces in inland Spain in a pleasant and unusual way. You'll see impressive canyons and gorges while a guide reveals the secrets of everything you see around you. Sound interesting? While not reserve your river boat trip now?

Castile-León

There are a range of options available: if you fancy a cruise down the Duero River, why not sign up for one of the environmental trips in the Arribes del Duero Nature Reserve?

If you prefer to navigate down the Castilla Canal (an imposing work of hydraulic engineering dating from the 18th century, featuring a channel of water stretching for over 200 kilometres), you can reserve a tour aboard the Antonio de Ulloa, Marqués de la Ensenada, Juan de Homar, San Carlos de Abánades sightseeing boats…

There are numerous possibilities open to you in Castile-León . Choose your favourite depending on the place you're planning to visit.

Practical tips

  • Advance booking is always recommended.

  • Make sure you are aware of the schedules and departure points for each boat.

  • Some of the boats have lighting, air conditioning, heating, toilets and a small bar.

  • We recommend taking field glasses or binoculars for birdwatching.

  • The guide's explanations and the videos screened on board are generally only in Spanish, but for prearranged group trips these can sometimes be organised in other languages.
