The Sorbe is a right-bank tributary of the Henares, located in the centre of the Iberian Peninsula. It forms part of the Tagus river basin.
It has its source in the easternmost foothills of the Sistema Central at roughly 1,310 m above sea level, formed upon the confluence of smaller streams, although it feeds downstream from right-bank tributaries born at a higher altitude, namely: the Lillas and the Sonsaz. It has a length of 79.5 km. Running southwards through the Spanish province of Guadalajara, it empties in the Henares at 700 m above sea level, near Humanes.
It drains a basin of 546 km.2.
