El Atance reservoir is a water storage built in 1997 on the Salado River in Guadalajara Province, serving agricultural irrigation across the region. The concrete dam stands nearly 50 meters tall, spans about 200 meters, and covers roughly 280 hectares with a capacity around 35 million cubic meters of water.
El Atance reservoir was completed in 1997, submerging the small village of the same name that once stood at the site. Built as part of the larger Tajo River basin management, it has supplied water for agricultural irrigation since its construction.
The reservoir's banks are gently sloped and accessible for walking along the shoreline. Water levels change with seasons depending on rainfall and irrigation demand, so timing your visit in wetter months offers better views.
The reservoir sits atop the Salado River, which carries salt-rich water from nearby salt lagoons in the landscape. This salty character influences the fish species and plant life in the water, distinguishing it from typical freshwater reservoirs.
