The source is located at 1,100 metres above sea level in the Sierra de Mira [es], within the municipal limits of Aliaguilla, in the Spanish province of Cuenca.^[1][2] Immediately crossing the border between Castilla–La Mancha and the Valencian Community, it runs 130 km down to Algemesí, where it joins the Júcar.^[1][2] It generally features a modest flow.^[2] Together with the Escalona, Sallent, and Albaida, it contributes to most of the floods of the Júcar.^[3]

In the 2024 Spanish floods, a flash flood of the Magro was responsible for casualties in the towns of Algemesí and Utiel, among others.^[4] During this event, the low level of the Forata reservoir [es] near Yátova prevented further damage.^[5]
