Lakes Hiking tour from Soria to Chira Lake<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Today’s hike on Gran Canaria starts in Soria. It does not only lead you through two small typical Canarian villages. The special feature is the crossing of the gigantic dam wall of Lake Soria. Then you hike to the top of the Lomo de la Palma. But that’s not all. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the other side of the mountain range the Chira Lake awaits you, which you completely circle. The hike takes you to the small village of Cercados de Ara\u00f1a.  Back you go again over a dam wall. This time the one of Lake Chira and then back to Soria via a water channel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Embalse de Soria – the Soria Reservoir<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In addition to the long water channels, the large reservoirs on the island play an important role in the water supply on Gran Canaria. At the starting point of our hike, Soria, there is the large Soria reservoir. The huge dam is the largest of its kind on the Canary Islands. And the construction of the dam, completed in 1972, took more than 10 years. Worth mentioning is, that the basin has a circumferential capacity of 32 cubic hectometres.<\/p>\n\n\n
