Presa de Soria

Monument · Mogán, Gran Canaria - Sur, Las Palmas

Built between 1962 and 1972 on the Arguineguín gorge, on the boundary between Mogán and San Bartolomé de Tirajana, it is the largest dam in the Canary Islands by height and volume, at 120 meters tall with a theoretical capacity of 32 cubic hectometers that has never been fully reached; it is, in fact, the only dam in Gran Canaria that has never overflowed. There are plans to turn it into a 200 MW reversible hydroelectric power station.

construida entre 1962 y 1972
