I am born in Sierra de Cazorla (Jaén)
I am666 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 asCÓRDOBA
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 ...
