Ebro Reservoir, Water reservoir between Cantabria and Burgos, Spain
The Ebro Reservoir extends across 22 kilometers between the provinces of Burgos and Cantabria, surrounded by meadows, oak forests, and mountains.
Construction of the reservoir, completed in 1952, resulted in the submersion of nine villages, with several communities relocating to higher ground near the shore.
The village of Orzales maintains its tradition of baking dense round loaves of bread, which have gained recognition throughout the local gastronomy scene.
The reservoir perimeter spans 60 kilometers of well-maintained roads, allowing visitors to complete a circuit around the water body in approximately one hour.
During periods of low water levels, visitors can access the remains of a submerged church at Las Rozas through a wooden walkway.
