The Tech is a river in southern France, very close to the French-Spanish border. It runs through a valley in the Pyrénées-Orientales and is approximately 80km long. Its source is the Parcigoule Valley (2,500 meters high) and it feeds the Mediterranean Sea.
The Tech flows through the following towns: Prats-de-Mollo-la-Preste, Arles-sur-Tech, Amélie-les-Bains-Palalda, Céret and Le Boulou. It flows into the Mediterranean Sea between Saint-Cyprien and Argelès-sur-Mer, southeast of Perpignan.
