The Guadiela is a river in the Iberian Peninsula, a left-bank tributary of the Tagus and the latter's major upper-course tributary.[1][2]
The Guadiela has its source in the Serranía de Cuenca , near Cueva del Hierro,[3] at the Fuente Pinilla site.[4] It flows from East to West for 117 kilometres (73 mi),[2] passing through the Spanish province of Cuenca, emptying into the Tagus at the Bolarque reservoir,[5] on the border between the provinces of Cuenca and Guadalajara. It is dammed upstream by the Buendía reservoir .[1]
It receives the waters from the Cuervo , Guadamejud , Mayor and Trabaque .[2]
The hydronym Guadiela is formed by 'Guad' (of Arabic origin, conveying the meaning of "river") and the '-iela' suffix (a diminutive).[6]
