    Ernbalse de Ajuez
    Unfortunately, the reservoir is almost dry and things are slowly getting tight for the fish and turtles.
    The Chóvar Reservoir, as it is also called, is part of an ancient local irrigation system built to retain the rushing water from the eponymous gorge. The place name is derived from Arabic, the meaning of which means “common pastureland” and indicates the importance of agriculture and livestock breeding in the region. Due to its capacity of 30,000 m³ and the lack of water sources in the nature park, it is of great value for the fauna. It is currently included in the catalog of wetlands of the Valencian Community

      Also known as the Balsa de Chovar, the reservoir is a very quiet place surrounded by a natural environment just a few meters from the town of Chovar. An ideal place to escape with the family and have a nice time there.

        It was built in the 12th century by the Muslims who inhabited the region. Its original purpose was to retain the waters of the ravine of the same name and then use them to irrigate the fields downstream.
        This route is ideal for hiking lovers and offers a variety of landscapes and experiences. I hope you enjoy exploring the Ajuez Reservoir and its surroundings! 🌿🏞️
