The Pantà de Darnius-Boadella, also known as the Boadella Reservoir, is an important reservoir located on the Muga River, near the town of Darnius in Catalonia, Spain. The construction of this hydroelectric dam began in 1959 and was completed in 1969. The dam is mainly located in Darnius, but also extends within the limits of Sant Llorenç de la Muga, Terrades and Maçanet de Cabrenys.

This reservoir is notable for its size and capacity. It has an area of 363.3 hectares and can contain up to 60.2 hm³ of water. The dam itself is a gravity dam with a height of 63 meters and a length of 250 meters. Its main purposes include hydroelectric power production, irrigation and drinking water supply.

In addition to its operational functions, the reservoir offers recreational activities such as water skiing, canoeing and sailing. It is known as a freshwater beach alternative for those who prefer enclosed waters over open seas. The reservoir supplies water to the city of Figueres and several coastal towns in the region, as well as irrigating approximately 4,200 hectares of land.

Unfortunately, the dam is not accessible. So you have to decide whether to visit them from this side or from the other.
