Sénia

Sénia is a toponym and surname used in parts of the Iberian Peninsula. In geographic use, the name appears in several places associated with a river of the same name and its surrounding region. The most widely recognized uses are linked to the Sénia River, the town of La Sénia, and the broader Ribera del Sénia region.

The Sénia River (Río Sénia, Catalan: Riu Sénia) is a river in eastern Spain that rises in inland mountain ranges and generally flows toward the Mediterranean coast. It passes through several municipalities and serves as a geographic reference for the landscape of the surrounding valleys. The river's basin gathers a diverse agricultural belt, including orchards, olive groves, and vineyards.

La Sénia is a municipality located in the eastern Iberian region. The area features historical churches, traditional architecture, and an economy historically based on agriculture, limited industry, and local commerce. The community has a small population and is connected to regional networks through road and rail links.

Ribera del Sénia is a name used for the river valley and the administrative or cultural region surrounding the Sénia River. The designation is used in local planning and tourism to refer to the landscape formed by the river and its terraces, as well as to a group of municipalities sharing historical and economic ties.

In addition to geographic uses, Sénia also appears as a surname in Iberian-speaking communities and among diaspora populations.
