Guadalaviar

Guadalaviar (anc. Turia), a river of eastern Spain, has its source near that of the Tagus, in the south-west of Aragon, and after a course of 190 miles, in a generally south-south-east direction, falls into the Mediterranean at Grao, $1\backslash frac\{1\}\{2\}$ mile below Valencia. In passing through the beautiful Hnerta de Valencia, it is divided, for purposes of irrigation, into numerous channels.
