Ría del Eo

Nature · Castropol, Eo-Navia, Asturias

An estuary shared with Galicia that has been on the Ramsar list of wetlands of international importance since 1994 and is also protected as a special protection area for birds and as a partial nature reserve. It forms at the mouth of the Eo river and is 10 kilometres long, with a fairly constant width of 800 metres and an area of 14 square kilometres; it narrows to 600 metres near the mouth, where a bridge stands, and widens to 1,200 metres in the Arnao cove. The Suarón river also flows into it on the Asturian side, and the Grande river on the Galician side.
