Azúmara River

Nature · Pol, Meira, Lugo

It rises at almost 1,000 metres of altitude in the parish of Montecubeiro, on the foothills of the Pradairo and Pena Grande mountains, in the municipality of Castroverde, and then moves into that of Pol, where it is one of the concello's three main rivers: a tributary of the Miño basin, it crosses the flat lands of western Pol between hay meadows and riverside woodland, in one of the most productive livestock-farming areas of inland Lugo. After also passing through the municipality of Castro de Rei, and with a basin of around 200 km², it pours its waters into the Miño, at the place of Coea, after a course of 25 kilometres. It is a river of oceanic pluvial regime, with an average flow of 0.4 m³/s and an average rainfall over its basin of 1,122 mm a year.
