Loriguilla Reservoir, Embalse valenciano
The Loriguilla Reservoir is a large body of water in Valencia Province surrounded by high rocky walls. Paths around the dam lead through rocky terrain with views of the water and surrounding hills.
The reservoir was built to store water for agricultural irrigation and local use. Its construction reflected historical efforts to manage water resources more efficiently in the region.
The reservoir draws climbers who use the steep rock faces as a natural challenge. The nearby cave with ancient rock paintings reveals that people have valued this landscape for thousands of years.
Access is easy by car, with parking areas nearby and signs to help you find your way. Stay on marked paths and follow local rules to keep the area clean and safe.
A nearby cave holds ancient rock paintings discovered in 1998 that show simple drawings of animals and human figures. A short trail leads to the protected site where a guide can share the story of these thousands-year-old markings.
