This reservoir is not used to generate energy or to irrigate crops, its main purpose is to supply water to the majority of towns in the Sierra de Guadarrama, which suffered from supply problems during the 1950s. As its waters are for human consumption, bathing or any recreational activity is not allowed, except fishing, with prior authorization. Traffic around its perimeter is restricted at some points.

Ascent in which the reservoir goes up and then you have to cross it on a road, good views and well lit.
