Spring of the Lagunas de Ruidera

Highlight • Natural Monument

Sources of the Lagunas de Ruidera that feed with their water the Alto Guadiana as it passes through the Natural Park.
From its origin, in one of the thousand springs, the waters of the streams and streams that come from the springs of the Lagunas de Ruidera irrigate the Alto Guadiana Valley, they form the character of an erratic and unpredictable river.
The nature park is particularly interesting; also very nice to see how the water bubbles up and forms a stream.
Like this one you will see many springs along the walk. Some are easily accessible.

El Hundimiento Waterfall

Highlight • Waterfall

This is the Sinking Waterfall that remained as a result of the natural modification that occurred in the middle of the 16th century in the upstream retention dam. This modification seems to have taken place in relation to the high rainfall that occurred throughout Spain and that led to the "sinking" of part of that natural rock dam that originally existed.

Spectacular views: The castle stands atop a rocky outcrop beside the reservoir, offering unique panoramic views of the marsh and the beginning of the Ruidera Lakes. Many travelers consider it the best viewpoint in the area.

Peñarroya Castle

Highlight • Castle

The fortress originated as a Muslim fort, which would pass into Christian hands in 1198, remaining in the power of the Order of San Juan in 1215, although it was conquered with the help of the Order of Santiago. Legend has it that after taking the fortress, the image of Our Lady of Peñarroya was found, venerated since then by the residents of Argamasilla de Alba and La Solana, who share the Patron Saint.

Peñarroya Reservoir

Highlight • Lake

The Peñarroya Reservoir, like many others across Spain, was built during the Franco dictatorship. Its main purpose is to supply drinking water to nearby towns and irrigate the fields of La Mancha. It is also well-known among fishing enthusiasts who flock to the reservoir's shores every weekend in search of a photograph-worthy catch.
In summer, the Peñarroya Reservoir is the second most popular bathing destination within the Lagunas de Ruidera Natural Park.
