Rivers and basins
The thread of water from Frías de Albarracín
Follow these watercourses towards their confluences, villages, and basin history.
Where the thread begins
The source of the Tagus lies in the municipality of Frías de Albarracín. Fuente García places the beginning in the Montes Universales. From here, the river links Teruel with the mountain passes and gorges of Guadalajara and Cuenca.
Looking towards different waters
The Sierra de Albarracín gathers headwaters of differing drainage basins. Following the Tagus requires noting these watersheds: other mountain streams, such as the Cabriel, carry water towards the Mediterranean. Proximity between springs does not imply a shared destination.
Mountains before the modern map
