Boat Trip to Granadilla

At the scheduled time, proceed to the Centro Internacional de Innovación Deportiva-El Anillo and board a boat for a trip on the Gabriel y Galán Reservoir. You will admire the surrounding scenery and observe local bird species during this 30-minute boat ride, arriving at Granadilla.

You will have 2.5 hours to explore this medieval walled village independently. Known as a filming location for the Spanish film Tie Me Up! Tie Me Down! ("¡Átame!"), directed by Pedro Almódovar and starring Antonio Banderas, Granadilla became uninhabited in the mid-20th century due to a flood warning from construction in the reservoir.

Explore this Historic-Artistic Site and see key structures such as the town hall, the Church of the Assumption, and the Granadilla Castle, dating back to the 15th century. Afterward, return to the boat for your journey back to the starting point, completing a memorable 3.5-hour adventure.
