Eriste Dam

Highlight • Monument

On July 28, 1963, there was a major flood that delayed the inauguration of this dam. Anecdotally, the gates of the dam stayed closed and the swamp water began to overflow. The neighbors came to pull with chains, like a ratchet, to open the gates and allow the water to come out.

Lago de Eriste

Highlight (Segment) • Lake

Currently called Lake Eriste, it has also been known as the Eriste or Linsoles Reservoir. It was built in the 1960s as part of the creation of the Eriste Hydroelectric Power Station, although its function is to collect water from the power station and accumulate it for the Sesué generating station. A pleasant path runs along its left bank with numerous benches and picnic tables where you can make stops.
