Deva (river)
The 883rd longest river in the world
The Deva is a river in Northern Spain, flowing through the Autonomous Communities of Cantabria and Asturias until it flows into Tina Mayor, an estuary. Its main tributaries are the Cares and Urdón rivers, among others. Deva is the name of a Celtic goddess related to the waters. As the names of the English rivers Dee, which are related, this may come from the Proto-Indo-European *deiueh2-, meaning 'a goddess'. The river is known for being one of the few Spanish watercourses to host native runs of Atlantic salmon.
Flows through: Spain.
