Sotos de la Albolafia, Natural monument along Guadalquivir River in Córdoba, Spain.
The protected area spans 21.36 hectares between the Roman Bridge and San Rafael Bridge, featuring river islands, mud banks, and dense vegetation.
The Spanish government designated this section of the Guadalquivir River as a Natural Monument in 2001 to preserve its ecological characteristics.
The area hosts educational programs where students learn about local birds, environmental conservation, and the relationship between urban spaces and nature.
Visitors can access the natural monument from multiple points along the river, with the Roman Bridge offering the best observation spots for birdwatching.
The site supports 120 bird species, including egrets, herons, and kingfishers, making it a critical urban wildlife sanctuary in southern Spain.
