Parks & Nature
The views from the dam and across the reservoir are beautiful. The reservoir itself has a personality of its own, and varies according to the weather. Locals are experts at assessing whether the reservoir is full, and in conversation often link the weather with the reservoir (e.g. "This winter has been very rainy - the dam is nearly full now but was 20% full last month").

Getting Around
The train into Leon city makes for a pleasant attraction if you want an alternative to driving all the way. We don't recommend using just the train, as the station is far from the house, but the journey is very scenic and not expensive (€3.15 each way, April 2018), and takes around 1h20m. Departures are very spaced out, so check times before you travel (www.renfe.com/viajeros/feve/)

Arts & Culture
This museum features fauna specimens collected by a well-known local who liked to go on safari. WARNING: Do not visit this museum if the thought of stuffed animals upsets you. On the other hand, the restaurant of the museum serves some excellent food, somewhat more expensive than the local eateries but well worth it. Be prepared for a scenic drive up a very winding road!
