Playa del embalse de Aguilar, Reservoir beach in Aguilar de Campoo, Spain.
Playa del Embalse de Aguilar is a sandy beach along the Aguilar Reservoir in northern Palencia province. The water is surrounded by mountains and green landscapes that form a natural backdrop for the shore.
The reservoir was built in the middle of the 20th century to generate power and irrigate surrounding farmland. Its creation transformed the landscape and provided a new recreation resource for the area.
The beach serves as a central gathering place where local residents participate in summer festivals and water sports competitions throughout the season.
The beach provides parking, restrooms, picnic tables, showers, and a seasonal restaurant near the water. Most facilities are most active during the warm months of the year.
A floating dock enables non-motorized water activities such as rowing, sailing, and windsurfing on the water. This facility has expanded the recreation options available at the reservoir.
