Reservoir of Ullíbarri-Gamboa, Water reservoir in Álava, Spain
The Ullíbarri-Gamboa Reservoir spans across a large area of Álava province, bordered by mountains and connected to the Zadorra River system.
The construction of the reservoir began in the 1950s and reached completion in the early 1970s, transforming the regional water management system.
Local communities around the reservoir maintain Basque traditions through festivals and celebrations that connect residents with their agricultural heritage.
The reservoir offers designated areas for swimming at Landa and Garaio beaches, plus facilities for sailing, fishing, and hiking along marked trails.
Several former villages now rest beneath the waters of the reservoir, creating an underwater archaeological site that documents pre-reservoir settlement patterns.
