Negratín Reservoir, body of water
Negratín Reservoir is a water storage lake in the Province of Granada, formed by a dam that holds back river water across a wide area. The body of water stretches for several kilometers and creates a landscape where green hills meet the water's edge.
The reservoir was constructed in the early 1900s to store water for farming and power generation across the region. This engineering project transformed the valley and redirected the river's natural flow patterns.
The reservoir can be reached from various points along roads and pathways that connect to its shores. Weather conditions influence water levels and visibility, so planning your visit according to the season is helpful.
