The Alange Reservoir is an impressive engineering work located in the province of Badajoz, Extremadura, near the town of Alange and about 20 km from Mérida. The concrete dam was inaugurated in 1992 and is located on the Matachel River, close to its mouth in the Guadiana River.

The Alange Castle, also known as the Culebra Castle, is a medieval fortress located in the municipality of Alange. It is located on the Cerro de la Culebra, 485 meters above sea level, offering panoramic views of the region. Built in the 9th century by the Moors on an old Roman fortress. It was conquered by the Christians in the 13th century and used until the 16th century. The castle is a fascinating place to explore history and enjoy nature.

The La Zarza Mines, also known as the Silos de Calañas, are located in the municipality of La Zarza-Perrunal. These mines are part of the Tharsis-La Zarza mining basin and have a rich history dating back to ancient times. The site is a fascinating testimony to the mining history of the region and offers an insight into ancient and modern mining techniques.

Fantastic views of the Alange Dam.

There are only remains of the castle left, but the view up here is fantastic.

La Zarza is a town located on the plain of the Río Guadiana, in a geographical area dominated by farmland with the Sierra de Juan Bueno and Peñas Blancas in the background.

Mines that have the same name as the population in which they are close and that it is beautiful to pass by and see the holes that have been left by the extraction of materials in this area.

On the ascent/descent to the Castillo de Alange, there are spectacular views of the reservoir as a whole, thanks to the height difference in Cerro de la Culebra.
