The Molino de Zúñiga Dam, also known as the Molino de Arquijas Dam, originally served as a mill before being converted into a hydroelectric plant. Its operations were abandoned years ago, likely due to the site’s remote location and low profitability, leaving it in poor condition.
This restoration project was possible thanks to CIREF, Naturalea, Confederación Hidrográfica del Ebro, the municipality of Zúñiga and the Navarra Government.
