From the Santiago Rusiñol square (unmistakable with its huge fountain), cross the Bark’s bridge over the Tagus and make a right to reach the Estación de Turismo Nautico and the Club Escuela de Piragüisimo (Aranjuez’ canoeing school).
While the guides won’t let you touch the professional kayaks without prior paddling experience, you can strap into a plastic version with one or two seats (it is really all you need on this placid stretch of the Tagus) for a paddle up or down the clear river. The latter trip leads from the bridge to the Casa de Marinos with its Museo de Falúas ( 91 891 24 53, entry 3.40 Euro), worth a visit to see a large collection of the kings’ fancy floats from days gone by.
You’ll paddle casually along, with the Prince’s Gardens shading the way on the right and turtles everywhere, popping their heads up through the water to see what’s going on. Tours leave in the morning and then again in the afternoon, once the school has opened back up. Tickets can be bought on-site.
