Llobregat River, river, northeastern Spain. It rises in the eastern Pyrenees and flows south, then southeast, to enter the Mediterranean Sea just south of Barcelona city, after a course of 105 miles (170 km). It irrigates the coastal plain around its mouth and has several hydroelectric power stations. Industrial pollution in its basin made it necessary to set up wastewater-treatment plants along its banks in the early 21st century.
