Hi Broca - it would be helpful to provide the paragraph this sentence appears in, in order to choose the best option.

OK, then I'd suggest:

I think 'the passage of the river Guadalquivir...' might sounds a bit long-winded for a title so I would personally opt for '..the river Guadalquivir's passage through.." Or you could leave out the word 'river' altogether if it's obvious that that is what is being referred to.

Note from asker:
| Passage then, rather than passing, is it? |
| Evidencias del paso del río Guadalquivir por el interior de la Bahía de Cádiz durante el Pleistoceno Medio I only have the title (no more) |
| Excuse me again. Is the saxon genitive better here than saying "the passage of the river Guadalquivir...? Thank you |
| Thank you, Linda. I was thinking of using "evidence of the course of the river...", to avoid confusion with passage in the sense of 'crossing'. |

(evidence) that the River (Guadalquivir) ran
Debe tratarse de un artículo titulado "Evidencias del paso del río Guadalquivir por el interior de la bahía de Cádiz durante el pleistoceno medio". Hoy en día, desde luego, el Guadalquivir no pasa por el interior de la bahía de Cádiz. Es decir, que se trata de evidencias de que durante el pleistoceno medio sí que lo hacía. Me parece que queda más natural expresar esta idea de la forma propuesta: "evidencias del paso" quiere decir "evidencias de que pasaba". El verbo "run" es el que normalmente se emplea para referirse al curso de un río.
"The presence of many rounded rocks in this area of trail is an indication that the river once ran through here."

"A tradition was recorded in the 1770s that the river once ran close to the south side of Lydney churchyard"

: absolutely, here "paso" comes from the verb "pasar (por)" and is not the noun meaning a mountain pass etc.

(There is evidence that/evidence that) the course of the river ran...
Without more information, I can't complete the sentence, but it seems to be about a change in the course of the river, perhaps during the period Charles cites. If it a point to which it no longer reaches, "extended" could be a better choice than "ran". Although it is generally associated with Egypt, only 22% of the Nile's course runs through Egypt. In Egypt, the River Nile creates a fertile green valley ...
