DATA OF INTEREST
DESCRIPTION
This hiking trail reveals the impressive dam that was built to take advantage of the potential energy of the Jándula River. This work, which had to compensate for the irregularity and composition of the land and was built in the times of Alfonso XIII, is part of the network of reservoirs of general regulation of the Guadalquivir basin. Its waters are used for irrigation and generating electricity, which is of such caliber that it could light up all the houses in the city of Jaén for an hour.
The variety of the birdlife here, which is plain to see, is a clear example of the induced transformation. Cormorants, with their lustrous black and bronze plumage, are now common, and it is not uncommon to see ducks and herons. In the water there are different species such as black-bass, carp or barbel, and also a fish that is only found in these waters and tributaries of the Jándula, known as bogardillas.
