Guadalhorce-Guadalteba Reservoirs

The Guadalhorce-Guadalteba Reservoirs consist of two connected water bodies that supply water to the surrounding agricultural regions and urban areas of Málaga Province.

Construction of these reservoirs began in 1971 as part of the Plan Guadalhorce, with the Guadalteba Dam completed first, followed by the Guadalhorce Dam in 1973.

The reservoirs have shaped local agricultural practices, enabling farmers in the Hoya de Málaga region to maintain consistent crop production throughout changing seasons.

Visitors can access the reservoirs through the municipalities of Teba, Campillos, and Antequera, with designated areas for water activities and nature observation.

The combined reservoir system features two distinct spillways, each with four bays equipped with doors, controlling water flow into the Gaitanes canyon.
