    This reservoir is the oldest (still in operation) in the Community of Madrid. Construction began in 1869 and was completed in 1873, with a design that was innovative for its time.



    Later, a canal was created that brings water directly to the city of Madrid from this reservoir.

      The El Villar reservoir is located in the lower reaches of the Lozoya River, in the Sierra de Guadarrama (Community of Madrid). It is the oldest in operation in the entire region and in the entire Canal de Isabel II reservoir system, a network that supplies drinking water to the capital of Spain and a large part of the Community of Madrid.
