For many years the Malaga region of the Costa del Sol suffered severe water shortages especially during periods of drought and it was obvious that with the growing number of summer visitors and exploding population of northern European immigrants, something had to be done. After the relevant studies a large area of land was chosen in the municipalities of Ardales, Campillos, Tebas and Antequera. The rivers Guadalhorce, Turón and Guadalteba flow through this area, immediately before the local terrain undergoes the drastic and spectacular change that is the El Chorro Gorge. The reservoirs thus came into being that supply water to the Málaga region and the Guadalhorce Valley, an area known as the Three Lakes or simply as the area of the Guadalhorce, Conde del Guadalhorce and Guadalteba reservoirs. This was an extraordinary feat of engineering that ended the problem of supplying water to the city of Málaga since the complex has a storage capacity of more than 300 million cubic metres.
