Latest reviews on Conde de Guadalhorce Reservoir's beaches

Playa Ardales

8 Lila Rivera

We visited the Isla recreational area, which offers rental services for hammocks, kayaks, paddle surfing, pedal boats, and even an inflatable play area. The rental price is €10 for either 1 or 2 hours, depending on what you choose to rent. Additionally, there is a shaded area with tables, although they are situated on a higher level than the water, making it slightly uncomfortable due to the noticeable slope. The water's bottom consists mostly of sandstone with some mud, so it is not necessary but recommended to wear water shoes. Overall, it was a lovely experience costing €1.20 for adults and €0.60 for children under 10 years old. However, the parking lot at the recreational area costs €1.50, but it is quite small and fills up rapidly. As a result, we had to park on the road.

We came here for a leisurely stroll and noticed people enjoying a swim. It looked fantastic! I suggest extending your stay and taking a dip as well. However, I wouldn't recommend eating at the kiosk. It's not a good idea!
