Reserva Natural de Los Galachos de La Alfranca de Pastriz, La Cartuja y El Burgo de Ebro
Reserva Natural de Los Galachos de La Alfranca de Pastriz, La Cartuja y El Burgo de Ebro, Nature reserve in Zaragoza Province, Spain.
The reserve spans 1,536 hectares along the Ebro River, containing wetlands, riverbank forests, and abandoned river meanders called galachos that form natural lagoons.
The area received protection status in 1991 following extensive campaigns by naturalists in the 1980s to preserve the ecological features from agricultural encroachment.
The Centro Internacional del Agua y el Medioambiente within the reserve promotes educational programs about water management and environmental protection to local communities.
Visitors can contact SARGA at 976 10 58 40 to arrange guided tours of the reserve's trails and receive information about seasonal wildlife observation opportunities.
The reserve contains multiple galachos, former river meanders that transformed into wetland habitats supporting diverse bird populations and aquatic ecosystems.
