Info
The La Barca Reservoir, situated between Tineo and Salas on the River Narcea, is set in a mountainous, wooded landscape where visitors can enjoy recreational boating and fishing, with species such as salmon and trout present.
The landscape is also particularly interesting for observing waterfowl and otters. Together with the La Florida Reservoir, it forms part of the Pilotuerto and Calabazos Reservoirs Game Reserve.
In addition to its natural appeal, there is a unique historical feature: the construction of the reservoir led to the flooding of the old village of Bebares, of which only a few houses remain above water level. It is an attractive destination for combining nature, scenery, wildlife, history and recreational activities, whilst always observing the signage, safety zones and any temporary restrictions that may be in place.
