The Linares dam is located in a spectacular setting as it was built between huge rock walls that protect the river. It is possible to go up to the coronation using stairs placed for this purpose and contemplate from above the remains of the Linares hermitage, whose apse and belfry emerge from the waters as soon as the level of the reservoir drops a little.

The construction of the dam of this reservoir was completed in 1951 and, during it, more than 52,000 cubic meters of concrete were used.
