Embalse de Canales ( Canales Reservoir) is a artificial lake of the Genil River. The reservoir is located in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada, east of Granada and nearby the mountain village of Güéjar Sierra (see: note). The massive dam at the western end of the lake has a height of almost 160 metres and is 340 metres long.

Building of the Granada Cathedral (Cathedral of the Incarnation) was started in 1523. It took 181 years for the cathedral to be built completely. This cathedral is considered to be a masterpiece of Spanish Renaissance. Picture: looking towards the unprecedented rounded main altar and the impressive dome with a height of 45 metres. The two organs can also be seen.
