Iznájar Reservoir, Water reservoir in Andalusia, Spain

The Iznájar Reservoir extends across three provinces - Córdoba, Granada, and Málaga - forming a substantial body of water in southern Spain.

The construction of the Iznájar dam and reservoir was completed in 1969, requiring 1.4 million cubic meters of concrete to create Andalusia's largest water infrastructure.

The reservoir transformed the traditional agricultural practices of the region, providing irrigation for 80,000 hectares of farmland and water supply for 200,000 residents.

Visitors can access Valdearenas Beach on the reservoir's shore to swim, rent canoes, use pedalos, or participate in regulated fishing activities.

The dam structure rises 101 meters above the riverbed with a crest length of 407 meters, controlling the flow of the Genil River.
