Siberia in Spain
This region of west Spain is known as La Siberia (yes, like the region located in north Asia)
Water is the most representative element in this zone: the reservoir of La Serena in the south is the greatest reservoir in Western Europe. And the dams of Orellana, García Sola and Cíjara makes this region to has many kilometers of coast. It’s like a little sea of fresh water.
The dam of Orellana and its natural environment is a paradise for all kind of plants and animals. It is a ZEC (zone of special conservation) and a ZEPA (zone of special protection for birds)

Water, water, water everywhere in this region
You can visit the impresive and beautiful Castle at Puebla de Alcocer. The landscapes from the top of the main tower are incredibles.
