Health and safety for visitors

These are the health and safety recommendations for visitors in Manises:

Drinking water

The water from the municipality’s fountains is drinkable and suitable for human consumption. If you travel with a pet, remember to use a separate container to prevent it from drinking directly from the dispenser.

Meteorology

Make use of the media provided by the State Meteorological Agency (AEMET) to be informed about possible weather warnings at the destination.

Flora

The great majority of the species do not cause any danger to the population, but certain plants such as oleander (Nerium oleander) and nettles (Urtica) can cause hives or allergies by contact.

On the other hand, stramonium (Datura stramonium), spurge (Datura inoxia), blackberry herb (Solanum nigrum) and torvisco or torrisco (Daphne gnidium) can also be found, which can cause intoxication if ingested.

Fauna

In Manises there are no dangerous animals that can cause an important injury. Nevertheless, you should always be cautious with bees (Anthophila) and wasps (Vespidae), especially if you are allergic to their stings.

At the river

Avoid visits to the Turia’s Nature Park during the hottest times or when extreme rain is forecast. In Manises there are stretches whose waters are stored in several reservoirs and appear to be calm, but on the banks there is a lot of stagnant mud and various elements within the river, so bathing is strictly prohibited in these areas.
