 | | Jaen comprises the upper basin of the river Guadalquivir, which traverses the central districts from east to west, and is enclosed oh the north, south and east by mountain ranges, while on the west it is entered by the great Andalusian plain. |
 | | Apart from the Guadalquivir the only large rivers are its right-hand tributaries the Jndula an~1 Guadalimar, its left-hand tributary the Guadiana Menor, and the Segura, which flows east and south to the Mediterranean. |
 | | In a region which varies so markedly in the altitude of its surface, the climate is naturally unequal; and, while the bleak, wind-swept highlands are only available as sheep-walks, the well-watered and fertile valleys favor the cultivation of the vine, the olive and all kinds of cereals. |
