The Puente del Río Amadorio is a historic bridge built for transport and as a connection between the towns. A complete circuit around the reservoir is worthwhile. The bridge spans the Amadorio River, and on the other side, you drive over the dam. A very scenic route.

Historic Center of Orxeta

Highlight • Settlement

If you are planning a tour to the reservoir (Embalse de Amadorio) near Orxeta, you should not hesitate to visit the mountain village of Orxeta, which is a little higher up and off the main road. Lots of small, pretty streets where friendly people live. Worth it.
