I am born in Sierra de Cazorla (Jaén)
I am
666 km long…
...and I have dozens of bridges
I am the only Spanish big river
whose course ...
...flows entirely through one autonomous community
(Andalusia)
I flow through the provinces of Jaén, Córdoba, Seville
and Cádiz
I flow through cities
such as
CÓRDOBA
and
SEVILLA
My main tributary is the Genil river,
which is born in Sierra Nevada
Many types of fish live in my waters:
trout, barbel, black blass, sturgeon, pike, carp ...
TROUT
BARBEL
BLACK
BASS
STURGEON
On my banks there are oleanders, rush, reeds, mint, alders,
ash trees, poplars, willows ...
At Sanlúcar de Barrameda my waters flow
into the Atlantic Ocean
