Around the Amadorio reservoir.
This varied walk takes us around the Amadorio Reservoir, located between Villajoyosa and Orxeta, inland on the Costa Blanca. Constructed between 1947 and 1957 along the Amadorio Riverbed, the reservoir continues to play a vital role in the irrigation and drinking water supply of Benidorm and Villajoyosa, among other places. The impressive gravity dam is 63 meters high, 318 meters long, and holds almost 16 million cubic meters of water.
