Overview
Arrocampo Reservoir is located in the north-east of Extremadura, just off the A5 to Madrid near the village of Saucedilla. There is some confusion as to the naming of this reservoir, as its official name is Embalse de Arrocampo/Almaraz, and Arrocampo reservoir is actually a much smaller lake to the west, but as all visiting birders know the main water body as Arrocampo, we will keep it at that for simplicities sake.
