Sor Mañón facts for kids
The Sor River is a beautiful river in Galicia, Spain. It flows between two provinces, A Coruña and Lugo. The river is about 49 kilometers (30 miles) long.
The Sor River is special because it is the only river in Galicia where salmon still swim! This is because, unlike many other rivers, it has not been blocked by a dam to create a lake for making hydroelectricity (power from water).
The place where the Sor River meets the sea is called the Ria do Barqueiro. This estuary is about 5 kilometers (3 miles) long. The area around the river, including its shape and the nearby landscape, is very interesting to explore.
Amazing Features of the Sor River
The Sor River has some really cool spots. One of them is a stunning waterfall called Augas Caídas. You can find this waterfall in the area of Mañón. It's a great place to see the power of nature!
Why the Sor River is Important
The Sor River is very important for the environment. Because it hasn't been dammed, it provides a natural home for salmon. This makes it a unique and valuable part of Galicia's natural heritage. Protecting rivers like the Sor helps keep our planet healthy and full of amazing wildlife.
