Luna reservoir
General information
Place
Since the middle of the last century, the dam’s floodgates of Barrios de Luna have been closed, so a large area of the valley has been flooded by a huge mass of water. Thus, the previous mountain environment has been transformed into an aquatic environment that is home to a long list of resident and migratory birds, where they find here the quiet and the food they need to survive and, in some cases, to reproduce.
But along the shore of the reservoir and on the slopes of the surrounding mountains, other very different environments are developed, among which are included oak groves, juniper groves, scrub bands, grasslands and crags, each of them with its specific bird community
