Rambla del Poyo

[1] It lies between the Turia and Júcar rivers, with its source in the mountains of the Parque Natural del Turia, and the mouth at the Albufera de Valencia by the Mediterranean Sea.

The Rambla del Poyo is the result of the union of the Rambla de Cheste and the Barranco de la Horteta at Torrent, Valencia.

[2] After its formation at Torrent, Valencia, the course of the Rambla del Poyo then continues in a SE direction towards the Albufera lake.

[3] While the Rambla del Poyo contains a limited amount or no water for much of the year, on 29 October 2024 an unprecedented amount of water flowed through the gorge as a result of extremely heavy rainfall.

This caused extensive damage and dozens of deaths in the municipalities along its course.
