Nordic walking in the province of Seville

10 Feb 2014

 

While not everybody might know what Nordic Walking exactly is, its popularity has increases a lot the last few years. Starting with the purpose of training for cross-country skiers, Nordic walking became more normal under other sportive types. And with all the benefits that this sport bring you (such as increasing more consumption of energy while walking and it helps you having a better balance) and the easy learning of this sport, we find it kind of logical that this sport is so popular.

You may not think about the province Seville to go for Nordic walking, though this area suits herself perfectly for these kind of pursuits. Although any location and terrain may be suitable of Nordic walking, the Sierra Norte and Sierra Sur of Seville are perfect, because it allows us to carry out this sport at varying levels of intensity, due to the gradients we can find here. And the changing landscapes, rivers and the presence of shake make it possible to carry out this sport all year round. 

Areas to go Nordic walking are divided in six districts, each with its own identity and landscape. The Guadalquivir-Doñana district is special due the presence of the river Guadalquivir and its marshlands. El Aljarafe therefore is greatly influenced by its proximity to the capital, with large areas of vineyards and olives. To find more rocky and Mediterranean forest, you can walk trough the Sierras Norte and South. These areas also offer you the opportunity to walk through the lovely white villages and see more of the cultural side of Seville. La Campina is characterized by the gentle slopes, for the one who want some diversity. There is no any specific condition required for Nordic walking, so why not start today and not be only able to do exercise but also see beautiful nature in and around Seville! 

Andalucía Tours and Dreams can help you out with the trails and offers you a nice, warming tapas tour when you come back from your exercise in the mountains! Ask us about more information: info@atdspain.com
