History
The race goes back to the beginning of rowing in Seville, which is closely related to the foundation of Club Náutico Sevilla in 1956. It was Don Miguel López Torróntegui who, in 1960, had the idea of create a race on the water in the light of the friendly but intense rivalry between the two football teams.
