Built in 1970, its large hydrographic basin is dominated by the typical Mediterranean forest of holm oaks and cork oaks. Here you can see cormorants, herons and various species of ducks.

The reservoir is located in a unique place. The southwestern part belongs to the Sierra Norte de Sevilla natural park and the northeastern part to the Sierra de Hornachuelos natural park. It is surrounded by a magnificent Mediterranean forest of holm oaks and cork oaks where it is possible to observe Iberian fauna such as the black vulture, the golden eagle, the black stork, etc.

Built on the bed of the Retortillo river, this reservoir is located between the Sierra Norte de Sevilla natural park and the Sierra de Hornachuelos natural park, which in turn form part of the Sierra Morena massif.
