Low Water Level in Belesar Reservoir - Spain

Low Water Level in Belesar Reservoir - Spain

A person observes the low water level in the Belesar reservoir, November 7, 2025, in Belesar, Lugo, Galicia, Spain. The lack of rainfall has caused a drop in the water level in the Belesar reservoir, which this week is at 25% of its capacity, making it possible to see flooded villages in the area around Portomarín and places like Castro Candaz in Taboada. In other reservoirs in the province, such as Salime, in Negueira de Muñiz, the remains of villages such as Barcela, where the church already has its bell tower out of the dammed waters, are beginning to be visible.
