The Ricobayo Reservoir, also known as Salto de Ricobayo or Embalse del Esla, is an impressive hydroelectric engineering project located on the Esla River, less than 1 km from Ricobayo de Alba, in the municipality of Muelas del Pan. The reservoir is located in the area known as the Arribes del Esla, a deep geographic depression with spectacular landscapes.

Although not officially called the "Ribadelago Dam," the Ricobayo Dam is the most prominent dam in Muelas del Pan and is part of the Esla River hydroelectric system. The dam connects Ricobayo and Muelas del Pan, and its construction completely transformed the local landscape, even forcing the relocation of the Visigothic church of San Pedro de la Nave.

The urban center of Pino del Oro preserves samples of its traditional stone architecture, its main building being the parish church of San Juan Bautista. Furthermore, along the Fuentelarraya stream, there is an old mining area with numerous structures for extracting and handling minerals to obtain gold, built by the Romans around the 1st and 2nd centuries AD.

Between rockroses, curtains and streams we arrive at this beautiful dam known as Ribadelago by the locals of the region. In this area we will find more streams to wade and shepherd's huts made sheltered from the rocks and covered with markets that will make the route an even more entertaining adventure.
