River Guadalquivir - Middle Section

911

This place stands out in the Natura 2000 network in Andalusia due to its special importance for the conservation of riverside habitats, some fish species of the Habitats Directive and, in general, the river ecosystem and its essential function of facilitating connectivity as an ecological corridor.

Over 95% of the Guadalquivir-Middle Section SAC, which covers almost 2,549 ha, is located in the province of Cordoba. The rest is in Jaén and Seville.

The Rio Guadalquivir-Middle Section SAC does not encompass the entire middle section, but rather two different parts of it. The first part or SAC section begins 6 km upstream from the town of Villa del Río and runs until the town of Las Quemadillas. The second part or section begins 200 m from the Huerta de Valdehermoso Stream, in the town of Alameda del Obispo, and ends 3 km downstream from Peñaflor, leaving the area next to Córdoba free.

Peñaflor represents 2.61% of the SAC. In terms of the distribution of the area by municipality, Peñaflor accounts for 66.44 ha.
