The Guadiana River crossing at Puerto Peña is located in the area of the Puerto Peña reservoir (also known as García de Sola), within the La Siberia Extremeña region, in the province of Badajoz. This point is very close to the road that connects Santa Amalia (Badajoz) with Ciudad Real, following the route of the N-430 and the future A-43 (Guadiana Highway), which links Extremadura with Castilla-La Mancha.

The García de Sola Reservoir, also known as Puerto Peña, is located on the Guadiana River, in the La Siberia Extremeña region (Badajoz). It was built in 1962 as part of the Badajoz Plan and has a capacity of 554 hm³. It is an emblematic site for its natural, scenic, and recreational value.

The Guadiana Riverside Trail in Siberia Extremadura is not an official name, but it refers to routes that run alongside the Guadiana River and its reservoirs in the La Siberia region (Badajoz), declared a Biosphere Reserve by UNESCO in 2019. This area combines landscapes of pastureland, mountains and large bodies of water (Cíjara, García de Sola and Orellana reservoirs), ideal for hiking, cycling and wildlife watching.

This spectacular reservoir was built during the 1960s. The reflection of the sunsets in the water and the surrounding landscape make it a must-see if you're exploring the Guadiana Nature Trail.

The route enters the Vegas del Jarama Greenway, and the journey takes on a completely new emotional state thanks to the serenity of the environment and the comfort of the road surface. The route of the old mining train runs through the dehesas or rañas of the Ruecas River valley, undisturbed, passing over several viaducts that span the river's meanders. From time to time, the old stations and halts appear, half-ruined and abandoned. The villages are off the track, and to get supplies or water, you have to detour several kilometers. Madrigalejo is the closest and most recommended town; it is three kilometers from the old local station and has shops and all kinds of services. The Greenway gradually enters a new landscape. The meadows of the Vegas Altas fade, and the curious "Appalachian" reliefs of Las Villuercas emerge, shaped by parallel ridges of slate and schist that appear to have been pounded and kneaded by a geological sculptor. Some authors have compared them to the Appalachian Mountains of North America and declared the Villuercas-Ibores-Jara Global Geopark by UNESCO. The Greenway ends at the old Logrosán station, and a new section of the Las Villuercas Nature Trail GR-116 begins, leading to La Puebla de Guadalupe. The pedaling pace slows due to the condition of the road surface, but it remains an impeccable cycle route. From Logrosán onward, the original route of the old railway is no longer maintained; the trail markers appear on rural roads and on some isolated stretches of the old railway used by local farmers. The Camino reaches the hamlet of Cañamero via the Santa Ana chapel and runs through the town center, famous for its Vegas del Guadiana Designation of Origin wines, made from mountain vines grown on rugged slate slopes. The exit from Cañamero is spectacular and somewhat unsettling, following the path of the Ruecas canyon. Pay attention on the descent; there's a short trial. It then continues along farm roads to the climb to the Martín Blasco pass, a good stretch before tackling the final stretch of the day through the solitary mountains of Las Villuercas and ending in Guadalupe, passing once again through the arch of the old mining railway, the last reminder of a project that confounded the era; it was built almost a hundred years before it was used.

The García de Sola Reservoir is an impressive work of engineering located in the Extremadura region, near Talarrubias, in the province of Badajoz. The reservoir is located in an environment of great beauty, surrounded by imposing rock formations and dense vegetation composed of Mediterranean forests, pine forests and eucalyptus trees. It is a place of great value for birdlife, with species such as the griffon vulture, black vulture, black stork, golden eagle and peregrine falcon.

Reservoir that collects water from several rivers, but mainly from the water that comes from the Cíjara Reservoir, which is located in the north, at the foot of the Montes de Toledo.
