They have even been elevated to the category of gods, as is the case with the Nile River, son of Oceanus and Thetis , for example. Something fascinating happens with rivers: it is obvious where they flow, but it is not so obvious where they are born, which is why the search for their sources has constituted some of the most exciting adventures in the history of travel. Furthermore, given that they are usually isolated enclaves, they are landscapes of great beauty. Equal to those of these spectacular sources of some of the most important rivers in Spain . 1. El Miño, in Pedregal de Irimia (Lugo) The Miño River at its source in the Pedregal de Irimia, Lugo, Galicia, Spain The Miño River at its source in the Pedregal de Irimia, Lugo, Galicia. By Siur The place where the Miño is born was surrounded by controversy until relatively recently.
For a long time it was debated whether it was in the Fonmiñá lagoon or if it was in the Pedregal de Irimia. It seems that the latter is the safest as the main source. The Pedregal de Irima is a few kilometers from the town of Meira , north of the province of Lugo and a monolith marks it on the road. In it there is a plaque with Vietnam Email List the famous poem that Avelino Díaz dedicated to the Miño River and that he wrote from the city of Buenos Aires, to which he had emigrated. But it happens that the rivers of childhood are never forgotten. In reality, this scree is a long glacial moraine of about seven hundred meters. If you walk over this river of stones you can hear, as if it were a wonderful secret, the murmur of the waters beneath our feet. From there, to its mouth into the Atlantic, a journey of life through Galician lands. 2.
The Ebro, in Fontibre and Tres Mares peak (Cantabria) Fontibre By Rodrigo Riestra Traditionally, it had been considered that the Ebro, the second longest river in Spain and the largest, originated in Fontibre , a spring located at an altitude of 880 m in the municipality of Hermandad de Campoo de Suso, in Cantabria. However, investigations carried out by the Geological and Mining Institute of Spain found that the Fontibre outcrop actually has its origin in the Híjar river, which in turn originates in the Tres Mares peak cirque, at 1,880 m high. Although said that way it seems inaccessible, getting to the Chivo viewpoint, from which there are spectacular views of the peak, is very simple if we follow the CA-916, the highest road in Cantabria. But as the tradition goes back a long way - however, the toponym derives from the Latin Fontes Iberis ("sources of the Ebro") and was already cited by Pliny the Elder himself - there are many who come to Fontibre to see the "birth" of the Ebro.
