Beautiful views of the Lozoya reservoir

Built in 1972 and belonging to the Isabel II canal, the El Atazar reservoir is the largest in Madrid, housing 46% of the community's impounded water. Located in a rugged enclave full of slate, the landscape that surrounds the reservoir and that is born from its waters is spectacular, giving way to monumental natural routes and walks through its surrounding historic towns.

Built in 1972 and belonging to the Isabel II canal, the El Atazar reservoir is the largest in Madrid, representing 46% of the community's embalmed water. Located in a rugged enclave full of slate, the landscape that surrounds the reservoir and that is born from its waters is spectacular, giving way to monumental natural routes and walks through its surrounding historical towns.

The Lozoya is an important tributary of the Jarama along whose 91 kilometer route six reservoirs have been built. Right at this point, the valley takes the shape of a canyon due to its proximity to the El Villar reservoir, where the course of the river narrows to a great extent.

From here there is a magnificent view of the valley of the La Puebla river, which flows further south into the El Atazar reservoir. It was declared a biosphere reserve by Unesco due to its rich flora and fauna.

A very well preserved dam, it is currently the oldest working dam in the entire region. The views down from the bridge across it or up the stairs from the top are amazing. It is very worth it. Just down the road is a lovely picnic spot with benches under the pine trees.

This reservoir is the oldest (still in operation) in the Community of Madrid. Construction began in 1869 and was completed in 1873, with a design that was innovative for its time. Later, a canal was created that brings water directly to the city of Madrid from this reservoir.

Passing through this stretch of track that goes uphill, the river of La Puebla is revealed at the bottom of the valley. The absence of trees makes it possible to observe the course of the current and the greenery that sprouts around the bed. The northern mountains are full of landscapes that make you question whether you are really in Madrid.
