In the enclave between Sierra Elvira, the Colomera mountains and the Sierra Arana is the Cubillas reservoir. Its functions are the supply and irrigation of the fields in the area.

From the reservoir you can have magnificent views of the Sierra Nevada.

It is a very good idea to ride along the lake although you need a touring/mountain bike with good strong tires.

The Cubillas Reservoir extends across the municipalities of Albolote and Atarfe. It was built in 1956 and is primarily used for water supply and agricultural irrigation. The reservoir has an area of 194 hectares and a maximum depth of approximately 20 meters. The reservoir's main tributary is the Cubillas River.

The reservoir's surroundings are characterized by pine forests, oak trees, and Mediterranean vegetation, and the lake is an important habitat for many fish species. The Cubillas Reservoir also serves as a resting place for various bird species, including the Great Cormorant and the Dunnock. The reservoir offers numerous recreational opportunities, including sailing, windsurfing, canoeing, jet skiing, and water skiing. There is a large picnic area on the shore and a restaurant overlooking the lake.
