What a good idea about water. In Seville we don't have rivers this calm for something similar, but it sure is nice to row with the cross. What time does it leave and how many kilometers do they travel?

Javier López

What a good observation, Rubén. The Disna River is quite calm in that section, ideal for paddling without complications. In Seville do you have any similar tradition with the Virgen del Rocío or something around the Guadalquivir? It leaves at 10 in the morning and travels about 12 km to the next town.

Fernando García

Yes, rowing the cross through the water must be very special, especially on a river as calm as the Disna. In Seville we sometimes take the Virgin of Hope by boat on the Guadalquivir, but only at large festivals and with fewer kilometers. Have you ever participated in something similar, Rubén?

Pablo Romero

Yes, rowing with the cross down the river has to be special, especially in a place as calm as the Disna. I have never done an aquatic one, but last year in our parish we organized a short procession through the forest with icons and it ended in a natural fountain; It was simpler but very collected. In Seville, does the boat go only during Holy Week or also during other holidays?
