Its has four sources, in the municipalities of Calaf, Sant Martí Sesgueioles, Montmaneu, and Argençola, and these streams join together in Jorba to form the Anoia proper. Major towns along the river include Igualada; Capellades, where it crosses the Pre-Coastal Range; Sant Sadurní d'Anoia; Gelida; and finally Martorell (Baix Llobregat), where it joins the Llobregat from the right.
