Rambla de Nogalte

A watercourse tributary of the Guadalentín, which is itself a tributary of the Segura, rising in the sierra de las Estancias, in the municipality of Vélez-Rubio (Almería); it soon crosses Puerto Lumbreras and the Lorca hamlet of Campillo, and flows into the sea between Hinójar and La Hoya. Its 139 km² basin and its wide stony bed reflect the major floods it has periodically suffered. In the stretch running parallel to the Sierra de Almenara, as far as the Lorca-Águilas road, agricultural activity has encroached on the channel and erased the direct connection with the Guadalentín, which is only clearly defined again from that point onward. Next to the Cabezo de la Jara, it is listed as a Lugar de Importancia Comunitaria (SCI, a European Union environmental protection category).
