Júcar River flowing through Cuenca
The Júcar is a river on the Iberian Peninsula of Spain. The river runs for approximately 509 km from the Universales Mountains to Cullera, where it discharges into the Mediterranean sea at the Gulf of Valencia.
It passes through the towns of Cuenca, Alcala of the Jucar, Cofrentes, Alcira, Sueca and Cullera, near its mouth into the Mediterranean Sea.
The Cabriel is its most important affluent. In 1982 the river Júcar broke Tous's reservoir, provoking the biggest flood in Spanish history with an avalanche of 16,000 cubic meters per second, killing more than 30 people. The flood was called "La pantanada de Tous"
