Ships bring water to parched Barcelona

Climb down the stony banks of the massive Sau reservoir in the mountains above Barcelona and you get a real sense of why this famous city is so short of water that it’s resorted to bringing in emergency supplies – by ship.

Nestling in a deep valley of stunning cliffs and forests, this vital source of water has sunk so low it’s exposed the eerie sight of a medieval village that was flooded when the reservoir was opened in the 1960s.
