Contreras Village

Highlight • Settlement

Town created during the construction of the Contreras dam (1950-1974) that today is practically abandoned. It is a very striking place for those curious about ghost places, where you can find abandoned and forgotten buildings with schools, bars, sports centers and others. Undoubtedly a recommended site for those who like to visit abandoned towns.

Contreras Dam (Cabriel River)

Highlight • Monument

Contreras Dam (Contreras Reservoir), located on the border between Cuenca and Valencia provinces.

It lies between Villargordo del Cabriel (Valencia) and the Cuenca municipalities of La Pesquera, Mira, Enguídanos, and Minglanilla, spanning the Cabriel and Guadazaón rivers.
Below the dam is the historic Contreras Bridge, built between 1845 and 1851 by Lucio del Valle, part of the old zigzag mountain pass.

Contreras Inn

Highlight • Restaurant

Historically, La Venta de Contreras was the rest on the third day of travel for those who left Valencia for Madrid. Today it is still a charming and cozy place with impressive views of the mountains. It currently works as a campsite and restaurant with a terrace and very nice views of the dam and the mountains.
