Tuerto floodplain in La Isla

Nature · Santa María de la Isla, La Bañeza, León

The Tuerto crosses the municipality of Santa María de la Isla from north to south shortly before flowing into the Órbigo, leaving very flat land at about 787 metres, threaded with irrigation channels; the village stretches out in three quarters parallel to the river. The town is part of the Vega del Tuerto, a traditional region that runs along this river from San Justo de la Vega to near La Bañeza, where the Tuerto joins the Duerna before flowing into the Órbigo, and which has a total of about 6,000 inhabitants spread across several municipalities of the province of León.
