If Hollywood producers knew about some of the places in Spain, they wouldn't think about it for a minute when shooting horror or action movies there.<\/p>\n
Two of those places are in the Serran\u00eda de Ronda, in Andalusia. The first of these is the abandoned Montejaque dam<\/strong>, also known as Caballeros dam or Hundidero dam. Its construction was completed in 1924<\/strong>, after only nine months of construction, thanks to having been made with concrete, and it was also a milestone for its time, becoming the largest vault dam in Spain, 74 meters high<\/strong>. However, this dam never fully functioned, since due to the reservoir's permeable soil,the reservoir water disappeared in a few hours, due to leaks<\/strong>. In the years following its inauguration, the problem was tried to be solved, without success, and it was finally abandoned. A great engineering failure.<\/p>\n In the same area there is another spectacular site: the Cueva del Hundidero.<\/strong> It is accessed through an impressive gorge that used to lead the waters of the Guadares river, until its passage was interrupted by the Presa de Montejaque. It was declared a Natural Monument of Andalusia in 2019<\/strong>. The Cueva del Hundiero communicates with the Cueva del Gato, located in the town of Benaoj\u00e1n (M\u00e1laga). In one of his always interesting videos, Aventuras Entresierras<\/a> (once again, I recommend subscribing to its YouTube channel) has made a tour and a bivouac in that area, showing the aforementioned press and the Cave of Hundidero<\/strong> (the video is in Spanish, you can activate the automatic subtitles in English in the bottom bar of the player):<\/p>\n
