Sobrón is an area of great ecological and natural interest, with a spectacular valley through which the Ebro river runs. Its rich flora provides a natural habitat for a large number of animal species. Indeed Sobrón was declared a Place of Community Importance (LIC) as part of Network Nature 2000 and Habitats of Community Interest, and it is currently being studied as an Area of Special Interest for Birds (ZEPA).
Here you will find Sobrón Adventure Park, and a Water Interpretation Centre will open shortly. Work is also being carried out on recovering thermal activity.
