Embalse Úbeda la Vieja
Description
The vegetation-covered slopes and stone walls are reflected in the blue green waters of this tiny reservoir, which looks more like a natural lake of high mountain than a human construction. In it the Zumeta River retains its waters for an instant creating a peaceful and serene place, ideal for a moment of tranquility.

Technical Description
From the road you will find a road that goes down to the reservoir dam, where the vision is even more spectacular, with the impressive Pico Morrión standing out at the bottom.
This area of the Park represents better than any of the world of mountain villages: landscape, culture, gastronomy, odors, colors, life forms that when we come from the city we find unreal; as if it were not possible to live integrated into nature, living from the resources it provides but without damaging it.
Around the reservoir there are villages held in the time that each of them offers you different delicacies: the bread and the cakes of Tobos made in a historic wood oven, or the magnificent Vites spirit with which to make delicious artisanal liquors such as the pachan or the mistela.
We suggest...
- Eating in the surroundings of the reservoir: Segureño lamb, slaughter viandas or any serrano dish will be safe of your liking.
- Visit some of the villages near the reservoir, such as Marchena, La Muela or Miller.
This reservoir is located halfway between the town of Santiago de la Espada and the village of the Miller Boards, on the local road JF-7038, at the height of the village of Morrión.
