Embalse de Embarcaderos, Reservoir in Elche, Spain

The Embalse de Embarcaderos supplies water through a network of channels across agricultural lands in the province of Alicante, supporting local farming activities.

The reservoir construction in the twentieth century marked a turning point for agricultural development in the region, transforming traditional farming methods into modern irrigation systems.

Local farmers gather annually at the reservoir to participate in traditional water distribution ceremonies that determine irrigation schedules for the upcoming growing season.

Visitors can access the reservoir through marked paths from both Elche and Aspe, with dedicated parking areas and information panels available at the main entrance.

The reservoir maintains specific water release schedules that coordinate with lunar cycles, following an ancient Mediterranean agricultural calendar still respected by local communities.
