Dakar Seville Airport Rally

Not a month goes by without Seville Airport breaking new passenger records for a long time. While a press release that arrives on time is no longer news, it’s worth emphasizing that what this situation shows is data. … The work is said to be mandatory in order to expand the facility, which has been renovated but has not yet undergone the revolution necessary to become one of Spain’s and Europe’s great airports. The city council requested it, but the government, as is customary when it concerns the Andalusian capital, “forgot”. This is no longer surprising, as history repeats itself, but it is true that, given the importance of tourism in the city of Seville, it is unacceptable to host tourists in such establishments. Similarly, you will need to travel to and from each hotel by car, taxi, VTC, or bus.

Because if you’ve driven this route recently, or even for quite some time, you can attest that this road has nothing to envy of any stage of the Dakar Rally. SE-20 or Ronda Norte de Sevilla, commonly known as Ronda Supernorte, is a continuous trap. Potholes, very deep holes and fruitless patches everywhere. Accidents can occur, and failure to do so can result in vehicle failure, especially to tires, rims, and suspension systems. Needless to say, the deplorable condition of roads is also clearly contributing to the increase in traffic congestion. It not only affects Sevillians who have to travel to and from San Pablo Airport, but it is also a calling card to immediately greet domestic and international tourists who disembark from their planes on duty.

It is therefore incredible that so far no solution has been found to a problem so important to those passing through the Super Norte. The Super Norte is also a route that many citizens have to travel for their daily business, unrelated to the airport. The ball was in the government’s court and stayed out of action for many years until the famous “Cordo affair”, but after the transfer of ownership by the Spanish Ministry of Transport, the city council has now signed an agreement to carry out the works. Four months of asphalt restoration and an investment of almost 5 million euros will finally be used to clean this road so that in the spring it will no longer be necessary to “participate” in rallies at Dakar-Seville Airport.
