The Port of Sevilla bases a large part of its potential on its inland port nature which is, in turn, a distinctive feature and one of its major commercial assets. The port entrance is confined by a lock which regulates the water level in the Port's commercial area. This lock converts the Guadalquivir into a harbour as its natural course is closed off to the north of the city. This enables the Port to be free of tidal variations and to have constant water depths. Having gone through the lock the navigator comes across a series of terminals, berths and docks that end in the cruise ship terminal and marina in the heart of the city.
The Chipiona lighthouse, managed by the Port Authority of Seville, marks the start of the approach channel to the River Guadalquivir. After little more than 50 miles and going through a lock, you reach the Port of Sevilla. The entrance to the Port is clearly signalled with buoys and lies between Sanlucar de Barrameda and the Doñana National Park, the most important natural reserve in Europe covering over 50.000 Hectares. The river bed is sandy and navigation is very safe with clear visibility enabling the successive changes in scenery to be seen, a particularly agricultural scenery with riverside populations whose usual activity is still fishing.
