Beautiful reservoir. A wonderful place for relaxation

The dam is not only a masterpiece of engineering, but also an impressive viewpoint.

A protected natural space where you can observe many birds, such as the mallard, red duck, shoveler, pochard and gaddle, common coot, moorhen, rail, bastard crake, egret, cattle egret, the great sandpiper, stilt, and the small snipe.

Its construction was completed in 1964 and it is used mainly for crop irrigation, although it is also used for hydroelectric power generation. In addition, it is a place where you can do activities such as fishing, hiking and bird watching.

The reservoir Alfonso XIII or reservoir of Quípar covers an area of 216 hectares and is located 300 m. above sea level. It dams the water from the river Quípar that crosses the area in SW-NE direction. It can be considered one of the most important continental wetlands of the Region of Murcia, being home to a large number of aquatic birds. It was built in 1917 with the aim of avoiding the catastrophic consequences that the swellings of the river Quípar had for the Vega Alta of the Segura. It was inaugurated in the year 1918 by King Alfonso XIII. Sunset can give great scenery, see my photos.

This reservoir is located in the course of the Quípar river, less than a kilometer from its mouth in the Segura river. The landscape from this point is amazing, as the turquoise waters of the reservoir intermingle with the greenery of the vegetation and the rock formations of the Quípar canyon, creating a unique setting.

It is an impressive pharaonic work about 84 meters high. The concrete mass was built during the Franco dictatorship to stop the horrible floods in the Segura valley and build a hydroelectric plant.
