Junta de los Ríos, Rural locality in Arcos de la Frontera, Spain.

Junta de los Ríos is a rural village where the Guadalete and Majaceite rivers converge, characterized by natural landscapes and traditional farmland. The settlement includes a school, a community center for older residents, and regular bus service to Arcos de la Frontera.

In the 1920s, two large concrete structures were built near the river confluence to transfer water from the Guadalcacín reservoir, becoming operational in 1922. This infrastructure shaped the area's development.

The local venta, established in 1910, serves as a gathering place where residents enjoy Andalusian dishes and regional products. It reflects the rural dining traditions rooted in the community's connection to the land.

The locality is well connected by regular bus service, making it easy to visit without a car. Walking along the rivers provides a natural way to explore the surrounding landscape.

Two large water conduits known locally as 'las morcillas' stand above the riverbed and include steps that let residents cross between shores. This engineering solution creatively solves an everyday need.
