Beschreibung
This nature area is located where the Guadalquivir River flows through Córdoba, in the heart of the city. Prolonged absence of human intervention allowed river sedimentation to produce the area's characteristics copses, islets of mud and sand, and varied flora and fauna. In Sotos de la Albolafia a wide variety of bird species can be spotted. Running down from the San Rafael Roman Bridge, the pockets of riverine forest, once abundant, now form a small area with varied birdlife, featuring some 120 species.

Zugang
The eco-friendly way to get there is by train (excellent service) and a 20 minute walk from the RENFE station. If you have to use a car, parking is only possible on the south side of the river. Cycling is also a good option as the city of Córdoba has a really good cyclepath network.
