As we mentioned earlier, the water level of La Viñuela reservoir has been rising. At that time, it was about 21.7% full. It has now climbed to over 50%! After years of severe drought, the water crisis in the Axarquía region of Málaga finally seems to be reaching a turning point. La Viñuela reservoir – the largest in the province – is more than half full for the first time in years thanks to unusually wet winter months, offering relief to local farmers, residents, and officials.
However, despite this positive news, the situation remains fragile. The region’s water infrastructure is outdated and, in many cases, incapable of delivering adequate or reliable water to inland villages.

A Vibrant Economy
From Madrid to Barcelona, restaurants and bars are overflowing with people. The bustling street life reflects Spain's economic vitality. The Economist named Spain the world's best economy in 2024 - an achievement partly due to the unique approach to migration. "Spain must choose between becoming an open and prosperous country or a closed, poor country," declared Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez. His vision appears to be working: the Spanish economy grew by an impressive 3.2% last year, while other European countries lagged behind (Germany: -0.2%, France: 1.1%, Italy: 0.5%).

After the many autumn and winter rains, there is a more hopeful outlook for the La Viñuela reservoir than a year ago. Although Lake Viñuela is still only at 21.7% of its capacity, this is already a significant improvement on last year. The provincial authority, the Diputación de Málaga, is confident that this will improve further in the coming months and has therefore decided to invest €1.06 million in renovating and improving the recreational area around the reservoir.
A new look for La Viñuela reservoir
The project is part of a wider environmental and recreational plan, which means new picnic tables, benches and lampposts will be installed, green areas will be extended, parking areas will be redeveloped and the playground and dog park will be improved. The investment aims to make the area more attractive to both local residents and tourists, and to preserve and enhance the natural beauty of the area as the reservoir has aged significantly over time.
