About the venue

Since its construction in 1989, the High Performance Centre and the Venue La Cartuja have been developed for rowing and canoeing at all levels; local, national and international.

From the very beginning several international teams have held their winter training camps at the centre. Since 1995, together with FISA, the international regatta 'FISA Team Cup' was created, where more than 40 countries have participated in its 15 editions.

In 1999 the venue hosted the FISA Masters Regatta, in 2001 a World Rowing Cup, and in 2002 the World Rowing Championships. The venue has also hosted world class events in canoeing and open water swimming.
