Duero

The Duero is a major river in Spain, the longest river in the Iberian Peninsula. It originates in the Cantabrian Mountains in northern Spain and flows through the country for approximately 920 kilometers before emptying into the Atlantic Ocean at the city of A Coruña. The Duero River is a vital water source for agriculture, industry, and drinking water for millions of people in Spain. It is also an important transportation route, with several bridges and ports along its course.

The Duero River has played a significant role in the history of Spain, with numerous battles and conflicts taking place along its banks. It is also known for its diverse wildlife, including several endangered species such as the Iberian lynx and the Spanish imperial eagle.

The river's ecosystem is supported by a variety of habitats, including wetlands, forests, and grasslands. However, human activities such as pollution, dam construction, and water diversion have had a negative impact on the river's health. Efforts are underway to restore and protect the Duero River and its surrounding ecosystems.
