Contreras Dam (Contreras Reservoir), located on the border between Cuenca and Valencia provinces. It lies between Villargordo del Cabriel (Valencia) and the Cuenca municipalities of La Pesquera, Mira, Enguídanos, and Minglanilla, spanning the Cabriel and Guadazaón rivers. Below the dam is the historic Contreras Bridge, built between 1845 and 1851 by Lucio del Valle, part of the old zigzag mountain pass.

It was built in 1972 at the confluence of the Cabriel and Guadazaón rivers. The dam height is 129 metres. Its purpose is, among other things, to supply water to the city of Valencia. The Contreras Bridge was built between 1845 and 1851 by the engineer Lucio del Valle. To descend the ravine, he had to build a zigzag road that formed the port of Contreras.

The old Contreras inn, from the 16th century, is located on the traditional wheeled road between Madrid and Valencia. Currently, the hospitality business continues to provide service.

Very nice to look at, a great sight. I wouldn't have guessed that I was heading towards the highlight. Great.
