Do you want to know more about the Guadiaro River and the estuary where it flows into the sea?

The Guadiaro River is a river in the south of the Iberian Peninsula that flows through the provinces of Málaga and Cádiz (Spain). It rises in the Hoya de Ronda, at the confluence of the rivers Guadalevín and Guadalcobacín, in a place known as La Indiana, and flows into the Alboran Sea near the town of Sotogrande.

At 79 km long, the Guadiaro River is one of the main rivers of the Mediterranean basins of Andalusia, being the third longest after the Guadalhorce River and the Almanzora River, and one of the most abundant.

The estuary of the Guadiaro River is a protected area in the municipality of San Roque next to the Sotogrande urbanisation, in the Andalusian region of Campo de Gibraltar.

An estuary is the place where the mouth of a river meets the sea, bringing together the fresh water of the river with the salt water of the sea as it rises.

The declaration of this natural site was approved together with the Inventory of Protected Natural Spaces of Andalusia in 1989, with an original extension of 27 hectares corresponding to the estuary formed at the mouth of the Guadiaro River. In November 2013, the site was extended by 8 hectares with the last stretch of the river, leaving a total of 35 hectares protected. This enclave has also been declared a Special Protection Area for Birds in 2002 and in the modification of 2013 it was also declared a Special Conservation Area (ZEC) and its integration into the Natura 2000 Network.

Flora and fauna. The water regime of the estuary does not depend on tides due to the lack of importance of these in the Mediterranean, so the plant species present do not have to withstand salinity as occurs in other nearby coastal wetlands. The flora is therefore similar to other riparian areas in the Mediterranean region, with reeds, chestnuts, reeds, tamarisks, mastic trees, brambles, wild olive trees and ash trees.

There are numerous migratory bird populations that use these marshes during their passage through the Strait of Gibraltar. The presence of the little egret, grey heron, purple heron, spoonbill, common flamingo, osprey, sandpiper, sandpiper, common sandpiper, common redshank, redstart, black-footed tern and black-billed tern is particularly noteworthy. Among the resident species in the area, the presence of the otter and the sea lamprey, both of which are highly endangered species, stands out.
