active tourism
Écija offers different experiences to enjoy the nature around it. The so called “Vía Verde” (“Green Path”) extends across almost 19 miles between Villanueva del Rey and Fuencubierta (in the province of Córdoba). Within the municipality of Écija, the “Camino Natural de la Campiña Sevillana” goes along an old railway line between Marchena and Valchillón. Many companies offer activities such as routes on horseback, bike rental, hiking routes or paragliding. Besides, you can also enjoy canoeing in Écija, as two different clubs whose seat is located at San Pablo Park carry out daily activities along the river Genil. This activity is suitable for any age and does not require previous experience.

The administrative division of La Campiña (one of the seven regions in which the province of Sevilla is divided) is a rural setting with attractive routes in terms of environment and very appropriate to carry out equestrian activities such as the following:
The routes are designed in such a way so that they can be made depending on each client’s time availability. These range from one-hour routes to day-long ones, as well as night routes in summer, when it is even possible to do a picnic half way with beautiful landscapes.
This same route can also be made in a horse carriage, together with the horseriders.
