Iberian System

The Iberian System is a broad group of mountain ranges crossing the interior of the peninsula towards the Mediterranean. Its southwestern ranges include the Serranía de Cuenca, the Sierra de Albarracín and the Montes Universales. These mountains form an important watershed: rivers rising among their ridges flow towards the Ebro basin, the Atlantic rivers of the interior, and the Mediterranean coast. Limestone heights, valleys and isolated massifs make the range a varied landscape rather than a single unbroken wall.
