its geographical relationship with the Guadalquivir Explanation: One idea...You could also say its relationship with the course of the Guadalquivir. In Internet: The relationship between Seville and the Guadalquivir serves as an excellent laboratory in which to test various hypotheses on the nature and dynamics of the relationships between water and urban space.

Reference: al-wādi al-kabīr Reference information: Guadalquivir The Guadalquivir is the fourth longest river in Spain (after the Tagus, Ebro and Douro), and the longest in Andalusia. The name comes from the Arabic al-wādi al-kabīr (الوادي الكبير), 'The Great River'. The river was called Betis (or Baetis) from Pre-Roman times to the Al-Andalus period, giving its name to the Hispania Baetica Roman province. Wadi or riverbed will be good here. |
