Whitewater in Spain
Is there any and what are the odds of finding a boat and gear to borrow/rent.

Spain has some good ww.
Most is found in the pyrenees (north). That is a mountain range on the border between spain and france.
the main place to go is : Sort

about 100 km from Barcalona I think.
The river runs most times al summer. the release the water every day around 11 o clock.
As far as I know there is one book in English of the region.
ISBN-10: 0951941356
Not much OC paddling in Spain, when I was there. (last time I guess around 2001. ) rental boats can be a bit of a problem. I think Yaks can be found. Big problem is I think to find them before you are there.
main period is the spring.
I hope it helps.
If you need more help I will try.

sorry fore all the mistakes.

There's bags of good whitewater in spain. the 09 slalom worlds were held at La Seu D'Urgell, which isnt hard whitewater, but decent. the further up you go the bigger and more techy it gets, especially just in Andorra. There are good rivers all over the Pyrenees. Do some googling.
cant help with the boat though, sadly.

There's a big raft/kayak business en the Noguerra Pallerssa which is called Roc Roi. They have some boats to hire :
