The Llobregat (Catalan pronunciation: [ʎuβɾəˈɣat]) is the second longest river in Catalonia, Spain, after the Ter. It flows into the Mediterranean south of the city of Barcelona. Its name could have originated in an ancient Latin word[which?] meaning 'dark', 'muddy' or 'slippery',[1] or simply from its ancient name Rubricatus, literally 'red'.[2]
