Guadalest Reservoir

Highlight • Lake

Embassament de Guadalest, the Guadalest reservoir, is certainly one of the most famous reservoirs in the area from Torrevieja to Alicante. Thanks to the beautiful castle in Guadalest with the even more fantastic view of the reservoir, this lake is known to many people and is a very popular tour destination.

Excellent! The tour around the reservoir is a real highlight! 👌🚴‍♀️👏 The path leads around the entire reservoir, and the Castell Guadalest can be viewed from all sides. The route around the lake can either be started over the dam and followed the path along the water or the tour can be started in the mountain village of Beniardá.

Blick on Guadalest

Highlight • Lake

An impressive experience with stunning views. The tour is well worth it! The view of Guadalest is one of the most breathtaking panoramic experiences in the Costa Blanca hinterland. The historic mountain village is spectacularly situated on a cliff high above the Guadalest River valley. From viewpoints in the surrounding area, a breathtaking panorama unfolds: the old houses cling to the steep rock face, the ruins of Guadalest Castle tower above, and below, the turquoise waters of the Guadalest Reservoir shimmer. This combination of rock, water, and medieval architecture makes the view of Guadalest one of the most beautiful photo opportunities in the Alicante region.
