Orellana Reservoir (Extremadura)
The Orellana Reservoir, known for its pristine waters, is not only a paradise for fishing but also an ideal spot for swimming. It is the only inland waterbody in Spain to hold the prestigious Blue Flag, a certification that confirms the water’s exceptional cleanliness and safety. The reservoir ranks among the cleanest in Europe, making it perfect for those who love swimming in fresh, clear water.
Being a man-made lake, Orellana offers a range of depths, with waters up to 6 meters deep right by Casa Indy. Whether you’re into carp, black bass, pike, or zander fishing, you’ll find plenty to explore here. Fishing equipment for carp or predator fish is available for rent, though we always recommend bringing your own reels and bite alarms for the best experience. If you’re driving, extra lead weights are also a useful addition. Given the crayfish population, it’s a good idea to pack some extra shrink tubing as well. Please note, night fishing is officially not allowed in Spain.
