Photographer’s Note

Las laguras de Ruidera, se encuentran en su apogeo casi máximo, en base a unos ciclos naturales de agua, las lagunas, esta creciendo por minuto, vertiendo sus aguas de laguna a laguna, esta es la "La Lengua". El nivel de agua sube muy rápidamente quedando muy poco para completarse el ciclo y ver Ruidera en todo su esplendor, las lagunas se suministran por aguas subterraneas.

Ruidera es un pequeño pueblo de la provincia de Ciudad Real, con una población de unos setecientos habitantes, cuya economía gravita, en su práctica totalidad, en torno al turismo.

Para visitar Ruidera, se puede hacer por la carretera nacional N/430 (Badajoz-Valencia). Si es desde Albacete en dirección Badajoz, localizamos el pueblo a cien kilómetros de la capital manchega. En sentido contrario dista cien kilómetros de Ciudad Real y cincuenta de Manzanares. Viajando desde Madrid se accede desde Manzanares o desde Villarta de San Juan, localidad ésta última donde existe una desviación hacia Argamasilla de Alba que está a unos treinta kilómetros de Ruidera.

El piragüismo, canotaje o canoa kayak es un deporte acuático que se practica sobre una embarcación ligera, normalmente de fibra de vidrio o plástico en embarcaciones de recreo y fibras de kevlar o carbono en embarcaciones de competición.

Propulsada desde una a cuatro personas (pero no tres) por una pala (también llamada remo por desconocedores del deporte). Las principales embarcaciones utilizadas son el kayak propulsado por pala de dos hojas y la canoa propulsada por una pala de una hoja.

Espero que os guste!!!
*************************

Laguras of Ruidera, is in their almost maximum apogee, on the basis of natural cycles of water, the lagoons, this growing per minute, spilling their waters from lagoon to lagoon, this in particular " The Rendondilla" that for years always this drought, this over passes his limits and causes these beautiful cascades to " The Lengua" , the water level raises very quickly being very little to complete the cycle and to see Ruidera in all their splendor, the lagoons are provided by underground waters.

Ruidera is a small town of the province of Ciudad Real, with a population of about seven hundred inhabitants, whose economy gravitates, in its practical totality, around the tourism.

In order to visit Ruidera, it is possible to be made by the state highway N/430 (Badajoz-Valencia). If it is from Albacete in direction Badajoz, we located the town to one hundred kilometers of the capital of La Mancha. In opposite sense it is one hundred kilometers of Ciudad Real and fifty of Apple orchards. Traveling from Madrid it is acceded from Apple orchards or Villarta of San Juan, locality this one last one where a deviation exists towards Argamasilla de Alba that is to about thirty kilometers of Ruidera.

Canoeing is the activity of paddling a canoe for the purpose of recreation (also called a float trip), sport, or transportation. It usually refers exclusively to using a paddle to propel a canoe with only human muscle power. A kayak is propelled using a paddle with two blades where paddlers sit with their legs mostly extended in front of them, whereas canoes are propelled using single- or double-bladed paddles where the paddler - a "canoeist" or "canoer"- is kneeling or sitting on seat or thwart, with their knees bent and their legs more or less beneath them. Kayaks are usually closed-decked boats with a spraydeck, while canoes are usually open boats. There are also open kayaks and closed canoes. Technically, a kayak can be seen as a special kind of canoe. When exactly a canoe can be called a kayak is difficult to determine though, and often arbitrary. Internationally, the term canoeing is used as a generic term for both forms though the terms "paddle sports" or "canoe/kayak" are also used. In North America, however, 'canoeing' usually refers only to canoes, as opposed to both canoes and kayaks. Paddling a kayak is also referred to as kayaking.

I hope, you like it!
