Lake Viñuela is a man-made reservoir that not only provides much-needed water for the surrounding area but has also been instrumental in creating a picturesque landscape within an already glorious rural locale. Prior to the creation of the reservoir, extensive archaeological excavations were carried out, producing evidence of Neolithic and Roman settlements, demonstrating the longevity of this area’s historic legacy.
The lake was formed by a dam being built across the Guaro River, one of the two tributaries of the Vélez River that run through the area. The other tributary is aptly named RíoSeco (Dry River), because there are many months here without rainfall. At full capacity the reservoir can hold up to 170 million cubic metres of water and the surrounding lush pastures allow for thriving agriculture based on its olive groves, its vineyards and its cereal crops.
There are a number of small pretty beaches around the lake, that make this the ideal place for a family outing. Pine trees add to the sense of tranquillity and give you a feeling of being at one with nature, while they provide the perfect habitat for many different species of birds.
Picnic areas have been set out, complete with barbeque facilities strategically facing south, giving the visitor the best views across the placid waters. There is also a campsite near the lake.
Swimming and non motorised watersports are permitted. There is a watersports activity center where, in the summer, you can rent or recieve sailing tuition on colourful topper dingies, kayaks, water pedalo, small sailing dingies. It is located of A-402 on the lake shore just north of Hotel Vinuela.
