Contreras Inn

Historically, La Venta de Contreras was the rest on the third day of travel for those who left Valencia for Madrid. Today it is still a charming and cozy place with impressive views of the mountains. It currently works as a campsite and restaurant with a terrace and very nice views of the dam and the mountains.

Contreras Bridge - Cabriel River

Highlight • Bridge

Bridge built in the 19th century under the reign of Elizabeth II. Also known as the "centipede" since it was originally intended as a suspension bridge but due to the change in typology it ended up having innumerable columns that gave it this nickname. Later it was rebuilt in its current form with 7 concrete arches.

Contreras Dam (Cabriel River)

Highlight • Monument

Dam on the Cabriel River completed in 1972, 129 m high and 241 m long. The dam forms the Contreras reservoir and makes it possible to produce energy and supply water to the Júcar-Cabriel basin. Due to seepage problems in the rock, the reservoir will never be able to reach 100% capacity.
The Cabriel river marks the limit between the provinces of Cuenca and Valencia as well as between the Communities of Castilla La Mancha and the Valencian Community respectively.
