This river is formed by the merging of three rivers, the Rio Poqueira , R o Trev lez , and C diar . The Poqueira and the Trev lez join shortly before the confluence with the C diar near the town of rgiva . The river flows through the region of Alpujarras La Alpujarra for much of its course and enters the sea near Motril after passing through a spectacular gorge between the L jar and Chapparal mountains. Although it is often dried up by this point, its waters are often used for agricultural purposes. The Rules dam was recently built across the river near V lez de Benaudalla at the head of the gorge, resulting in the creation of a large reservoir and the flooding of a section of the river valley.

The plane may be coated by mineral fibres that grew during the fault movement, known as slickenfibres , which also show the direction of displacement.
