Santa Engracia River, Mountain river in Álava, Spain

The Santa Engracia River originates near Barazar Pass at 620 meters above sea level and flows through the Gorbea Natural Park for 27 kilometers.

The river served as a natural boundary between Álava and Vizcaya provinces until reaching the village of San Juan in Ubidea, where it enters Álava territory.

Pascual Madoz documented the river in his geographical dictionary, noting its path under Santa Engracia hermitage and its crossing through two bridges.

The river system connects to the Urrunaga Reservoir, constructed in 1957, which forms part of the Zadorra system and supplies water to the surrounding regions.

The river changes its name from Undebe to Santa Engracia after entering the Urrunaga Reservoir, hosting species like trout, barbel, and eels.
