The Fresnillo reservoir (Embalse del Fresnillo) in the mountain region of the Sierra de Grazalema Natural Park in Cadiz Province, Southern Spain. The park is a vast protected area of rugged limestone mountains, which are famous for being the rainiest place in Spain. These high levels of precipitation account for the verdant vegetation in the surrounding countryside. The limestone peaks of 1,500m around the mountain village of Grazalema, are the first barriers that clouds from the Atlantic meet, causing plentiful rainfall. A unique microclimate has developed where a wide range of flora flourishes, such as the rare Spanish fir (pinsapo) that grows in the Sierra de Pinar close to Grazalema.
