The Spanish; Castilian: Magro|italic=no or Catalan; Valencian: Magre|italic=no is a river in the eastern Iberian Peninsula. It is a left-bank tributary of the Júcar.
The source is located at 1,100 metres above sea level in the, within the municipal limits of Aliaguilla, in the Spanish province of Cuenca. 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.
In the 2024 Spanish floods, a flash flood of the Magro was responsible for casualties in the towns of Algemesí and Utiel, among others.[3] During this event, the existence of the Forata dam near the village of Yátova with a capacity of 37 hm³ helped prevent an even worse situation. [4]
