Environmental situation by the Adaja River
Although the Adaja is a small river, it also suffers aggressions from human activities.
Avila does not have polluting industry but other human activities damage the Adaja. For example, shedded livestock or intensive farming produce spills and dangerous changes in the soil composition due to pesticides. On the other hand, population is getting bigger and bigger, so the town and its villages are spreading and coming near the river.
As a matter of fact, the river is not any longer the source we saw at Villatoro Pass. Although it flows quietly by the old San Segundo hermitage and the Roman Walls, our river has problems.
