The dam is 61 meters high and 716 meters long, making it a place that makes us feel small. It is part of the Segura Hydrographic Confederation and one of the main water management points for irrigation and urban consumption in the Vega Baja and Campo de Cartagena, which is why it is a really important place.   <\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-d350d24 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"d350d24\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-5697932\" data-id=\"5697932\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-bafa199 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"bafa199\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">How to get to the Embalse de la Pedrera from Alicante<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d50dc98 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"d50dc98\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To get to this wonderful place, you can take the CV-95 towards Orihuela, and you will find signs to get to the reservoir, which is located about 7 kilometers from San Miguel de Salinas.
