Turía (river)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Turia (Spanish: Río Turía) is a small river, 9 km in length and an altitude of 250 m above the sea, which rises in the town of Taramundi (Asturias) and drains into the Eo River in the town of Puente Nuevo (Lugo).

The Turia river gives its name to the Turia Valley or “Valle del Turía” that crosses horizontally before emptying into the Eo River. The Turia River is fed by numerous streams and creeks from the mountains that limit the valley, and is part of the Eo UNESCO biosphere reserve.

While the river is born in Asturias, the bulk of his wealth is found in Lugo (Galicia).

The Turia River is a source of industry and its waters are used to generate socio-economic activities based on ancient traditions such as Navajeros crafts and textiles, as well as the primary industry of salmon farming in Puente Nuevo (Lugo).
