Small reservoir near Archena

Where do you cross over to Morocco?

Beautiful reservoir. A wonderful place for relaxation

Worth the effort, nice destination, cool location.

Notice that the pass is not always open. I've been there twice and today, Monday, it was closed, although you can go around taking a paved road.

The reservoir Alfonso XIII or reservoir of Quípar covers an area of 216 hectares and is located 300 m. above sea level. It dams the water from the river Quípar that crosses the area in SW-NE direction. It can be considered one of the most important continental wetlands of the Region of Murcia, being home to a large number of aquatic birds. It was built in 1917 with the aim of avoiding the catastrophic consequences that the swellings of the river Quípar had for the Vega Alta of the Segura. It was inaugurated in the year 1918 by King Alfonso XIII. Sunset can give great scenery, see my photos.

This reservoir is located in the course of the Quípar river, less than a kilometer from its mouth in the Segura river. The landscape from this point is amazing, as the turquoise waters of the reservoir intermingle with the greenery of the vegetation and the rock formations of the Quípar canyon, creating a unique setting.

At this point we are at the Santomera Reservoir dam, which offers us incredible landscapes in an ideal environment for practicing any sport or photography. In the place there are several picnic areas where you can eat and / or cook. Without a doubt, one of the best places to disconnect from the city and connect with nature.
