The Lindoso Reservoir is one of the major landscape features of the Limia River basin and one of the three most prominent reservoirs in the Baixa Limia, together with As Conchas and Salas. Its waters extend across the border area between Galicia and Portugal and have become a major visual landmark in the landscape of the region.
The reservoir alters the course of the Limia before the river continues through Portugal towards the Atlantic, forming part of a series of dams that characterise this river corridor. From the viewpoint, it can be seen nestled among mountains and forests, creating a striking contrast between the surface of the water and the rugged landscape of the Xurés.
The reservoir also provides an insight into the deep connection between this region and water: rivers, waterfalls, thermal springs and reservoirs are among the defining features of the Baixa Limia landscape.
