Corb River

Nature · Sant Martí de Riucorb, Urgell, Lleida

The Riu Corb is a left-bank tributary of the Segre that crosses the comarques of Conca de Barberà, l'Urgell, Pla d'Urgell and Segrià; its name comes from the Latin curvu, “curved, winding”. It rises at the Font de Rauric and runs westward through Llorac and Vallfogona de Riucorb, where it collects the waters of the Riu Seniol, and continues through Guimerà, Ciutadilla, Nalec, Sant Martí de Maldà, Maldà and Belianes, where it turns north and briefly disappears among vineyards and olive groves before resuming its course near Bellpuig. From there it crosses Castellnou de Seana, el Poal, Linyola, Bellvís and Térmens before flowing into the Segre at Vilanova de la Barca, after 57 kilometres. It is one of the three rivers that shape the landscape of l'Urgell, together with the Sió and the Ondara.
