There is significantly more traffic on this (east) side as this is the main route to Orgiva. If you want to go north and don't necessarily want to drive to Orgiva and Lanjaron, you should stay west of the reservoir, there is significantly less traffic and a great view too.

Reservoir that collects the waters of the southwestern side of the Sierra Nevada and its nearby valleys. For example, some rivers are Río Chico, Río Mulhacén or Río Ízbor. After the Presa de Rules, the Río Guadalfeo appears.

Nice route to hike at the foot of the Rules dam in the town of Vélez Benaudalla, said dam reaches when it is sufficiently loaded with water that is stored thanks to the rivers of the Sierra Nevada, more specifically the Guadafeo river, well the dam extends from Velez to Orgiva and Izbor
