The l’Argoletja Isle
Recreation area
The Argoletja Isle is a municipal natural spot that covers 2 square kilometres. This meander was recovered in 2006 aiming at:
- Protecting the fluvial ecosystem rich in plant species, both terrestrial and aquatic.
- Provide a ludic use for the people as a recreational centre with educational and cultural purposes.
The floral microreserve and the figure of the SCI (Site of Community Importance) in all Xúquer River’s bed turn this landscape into an area of high ecological value.
The Isle also has explanatory panels, games for children, picnic tables, bins and regulated parking during summer.
USES
This is a sensitive area of high ecological value, so avoid making loud noises and pulling up plants, throw the rubbish into the bin, and avoid damaging the environment.
The Xúquer River is an unguarded flood-prone area with strong currents. Enjoy with precaution and responsibility.
