Boat Trip to Granadilla

At the scheduled time, go to the Centro Internacional de Innovación Deportiva-El Anillo and board a boat for a trip on the Gabriel y Galán Reservoir. During the 30-minute boat trip, admire the scenery and look for local birds. Upon arrival at Granadilla, you'll have 2.5 hours to explore this medieval walled village independently. This ghost town was one of the filming locations for the Spanish film Tie Me Up! Tie Me Down! ("¡Átame!" in Spanish), directed by Pedro Almódovar and starring Antonio Banderas.

Granadilla became uninhabited in the mid-20th century due to a flood warning from reservoir construction. Explore this Historic-Artistic Site and see key buildings such as the town hall, the Church of the Assumption, and Granadilla Castle, dating back to the 15th century. After your visit, return to the boat and head back to the starting point, concluding a 3.5-hour adventure.
