The Orellana Reservoir (Extremadura)
The lake is excellent for swimming. The reservoir is the only inland water in Spain to have the ‘Blue Flag’. It is among the cleanest waters in Europe, which means the water is very clear and clean. As it is a reservoir, there are many different depths, even up to 6 meters deep near the house. In terms of fishing, you can fish for carp, black bass, pike, zander, and American channel catfish here. Fishing equipment for carp or predatory fish can be rented; please contact us for details. However, we always advise bringing your own reels and bite alarms. If you’re coming by car, extra lead weights are certainly handy. There are also many crayfish in the water, so an extra supply of shrink tubing is recommended. Please note that night fishing is officially not allowed in Spain.

The Surroundings
The Orellana reservoir in the province of Extremadura is the last of the three large reservoirs that regulate the level of the Guadiana River, seen from where Extremadura enters. It lies between the regions of La Serena and Vegas Altas del Guadiana, both in the province of Badajoz. The landscape is dominated by the still water of the reservoir, surrounded by medium-high mountains (Sierra de Pela, 724 m, Sierra del Castillo, 697 m) that rise above the vast surfaces. In the nearby village of Orellana la Vieja, you can experience Spanish culture and visit nice bars and restaurants in the evening. There are also restaurants in the harbor, and various activities take place here during the summer months. A supermarket can be reached within 15 minutes by car, and there’s a weekly market in Orellana la Vieja with delicious local vegetables and fruits. A must-try is the grilled chicken!
