Cacín River
The Cacín River (Spanish: Río Cacín) is a river in Andalusia, Spain. It is supplied by streams flowing north from the Sierra de Almijara and Sierra de Tejeda into the Granada Basin. The river originates in the Los Bermejales Reservoir, and flows north to join the Genil river. In its upper reaches it runs through a deep gorge that holds traces of Paleolithic human occupation.
