Its source is the Parcigoule Valley (2,500 meters high) and it feeds the Mediterranean Sea. At Céret, the medieval "Devil's bridge", once the largest bridge arch in the world, spans the river in an arc of 45 m length.

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.
