A picturesque site where taking a photo is definitely a must. Its turquoise waters make the landscape magical. Built in the years 1914 - 1921, it is one of the set of reservoirs of the middle course of the Guadalhorce river.

Conde de Guadalhorce Reservoir

Highlight • Lake

Almost picturesque, how the pavilion on the steep slope fits into the landscape of the Embalse del Conde de Guadalhorce reservoir. Maybe a bit cheesy, but the proportions of the picture are almost perfect. Be sure to stop and take a picture!
