The 35 rivers in the quiz

The longest is the Tagus (1,113 km / 691 mi), followed by the Ebro (953 km / 592 mi) and the Douro (947 km / 589 mi). The shortest in the quiz is the Bidasoa, at 47 km / 29 mi. Lengths come from the IGN, Spain’s national mapping agency (the total, including any stretch outside Spain).

18 flow into the sea: the Minho, Douro, Tagus, Guadiana, Guadalquivir, Guadalete and Odiel into the Atlantic Ocean; the Ebro, Ter, Llobregat, Turia, Júcar, Segura and Guadalhorce into the Mediterranean Sea; the Navia, Nalón, Nervión and Bidasoa into the Cantabrian Sea. The rest are tributaries of other rivers on the map.

Tips to learn them

Learn the big ones that reach the sea first, then hang each one’s tributaries on it:

  • The Tagus: the Jarama (right bank), Alberche (right bank), Tiétar (right bank) and Alagón (right bank).
  • The Ebro: the Aragón (left bank), Gállego (left bank), Segre (left bank) and Jalón (right bank).
  • The Douro: the Esla (right bank), Pisuerga (right bank) and Tormes (left bank).
  • The Minho: the Sil (left bank).
  • The Guadiana: the Zújar (left bank).
  • The Guadalquivir: the Genil (left bank).
  • The Odiel: the Tinto (left bank).
  • The Segre: the Cinca (right bank).

Playing in class

Point mode is the place to start; Type mode marks a river on the map for you to name (accents and small typos are forgiven), and Timed mode gives 6 seconds per question. With Challenge your class, everyone gets the same questions in the same order, no accounts needed.

To practice on paper, the matching blank map prints blank, numbered or labeled.
