Abstract
The relationship between Seville and its river has been marked by repeated floods that the city has experienced since they have historical records. The main objective of this work has been the study of two major historical floods of the twentieth century (February 1917 and March 1963) in the alluvial plain of the Guadalquivir, in two different political moments (the Restoration and the Franco Regime) and through the information published in the written press of the moment. This study has allowed the elaboration of cartographies in which the maximum extension of the sheet of water in Seville is represented; as well as the analysis of the political and ideological influence in the way in which the press deals with the news about the floods of the city.
