Excellent views. The Alcántara II reservoir was the one with the highest capacity built in Spain and the second in Europe until 1990, with its 3,162 cubic hectometers and a length of 91 kilometers. Its lightened gravity dam and double buttress, formed by 19 independent triangular profile elements, brings together the confluent waters of the Tajo, the Alagón and the Tiétar (these last two are tributaries of the first).

The José María de Oriol dam has two spillways (hydraulic structures for the discharge of large flood flows) and two bottom drains. The surface spillways have a combined capacity of 12,000 cubic meters per second and the bottom drains have a total capacity of 600 cubic meters per second. The crown of this dam is located 223 meters above sea level and is 7 meters wide and 570 meters long.
