Cubillas Reservoir

Highlight • Lake

Many recreational activities such as windsurfing, canoeing and jet skiing are permitted on this lake. A large picnic area has been created on its north shore, once past the dam. In this area you will also find a restaurant. This body of water allows you to take very beautiful photos, especially on a windless day when the Sierra Nevada is covered with snow.
The Cubillas Reservoir is one of the main bird watching areas in the province of Granada, as it serves as a transit station for migrations and a nesting space for some species.
