Places to go rafting in Spain
1. Galicia
We moved to Galicia to explore the longest river in the Autonomous Community, the Miño River. Although there are several suitable rivers such as the Ulla river, the Sil or the Tambre river, the well-known Miño river is the best place to go down on a raft.
There are several suitable sections, although the most recommended is the one that goes from Frieira to Barcela. Surrounded by abundant nature such as eucalyptus and willows, this descent is suitable from approximately March to October. Here we leave you the best options to practice it in the area.
2. Aragon
In the Prineo of Huesca the rivers Gállego, Ara or Esera are the real protagonists. Classics for fans and probably the most highly rated by rafting fans. Its white waters and incredible views are a perfect attraction for both beginners and the most "veteran"
The Ordesa and Monte Perdido National Park or the Benasque Valley will also make the views impressive. Also perfect for families with children, groups of friends or even companies where teamwork will be crucial to overcome different obstacles. The best The time to do it is from March to November.

In the south of the country we come across 3 important rivers: The Guadalfeo river, the Genil and the Guadalquivir in its upper section, each one with different characteristics. The first two are the most difficult in their flows, although there are sections suitable for the whole family and for descending with friends. Both are born in Sierra Nevada so their views are spectacular.
Specifically, the descent of the Guadalfeo River is the most extreme that we will find in Andalusia with sections of levels III and IV. Hold on tight! They can be done in principle during the winter and of course in spring. On the contrary, the Guadalquivir river we will find descents of less difficulty (initiation).
