Bubal Reservoir

About the place

Bubal Reservoir is an expansive artificial lake formed by the Gallego River dam in 1971. Its turquoise waters mirror the surrounding Pyrenean peaks, while the winding shores resemble northern fjords that change with the seasons. Views of submerged ruins and the majestic Peña Telera create a dramatic landscape blending history and natural beauty. The reservoir has become a hub for kayaking, sailing, and sport fishing, attracting outdoor enthusiasts from across Spain. It also functions as a climate regulator, moderating the mountain air and enhancing the valley's ecological balance.
