Playa El Muro
8 Rico Martinez

The beach is situated in a spacious recreational area by the reservoir, home to the Real Club Náutico de Madrid since 1961. It features a pier for sailboats and a campsite. Accessible from Pelayos de la Presa, it is located on the right bank, adjacent to the reservoir's retaining wall to the south. Visitors can enjoy beach bars and boat rental services in this area. It is a popular spot on the reservoir, particularly on weekends and during the summer months.
