Embalse de Contreras, lac de barrage en Espagne
Embalse de Contreras is a reservoir in Cuenca Province, located at the border between Cuenca and Valencia regions. The water stretches across a narrow valley surrounded by rocky hillsides covered in pine forests and sparse vegetation.
The dam was built in the early 1900s to supply water for irrigation and hydroelectric generation in the region. Its construction followed efforts to harness mountain rivers for agricultural development.
The best views are found along the northern bays where access roads reach the shoreline. The area is quite remote and has limited facilities, so it is best to bring supplies before arriving.
