The El Chorro Reservoir, also known as the Conde de Guadalhorce Reservoir, is located in Ardales, in the province of Málaga. Surrounded by spectacular rock formations and lush forests, it is a popular destination for outdoor activities such as hiking, kayaking, and climbing. The area is famous for the Caminito del Rey, a walkway suspended over gorges that can be explored and offers stunning views.

The spectacular views of the El Chorro reservoir appear in some scenes from the final episodes of the fantasy series ‘His Dark Materials’, such as when one of the protagonists wakes up next to a lake.
