context_page_description: Aldeadávila Dam is a concrete arch-gravity dam on the Duero River on the border between Spain and Portugal. The Duero River forms the international boundary between Portugal and Spain. The nearest Spanish town is Aldeadávila de la Ribera in the Province of Salamanca, about 11.3 kilometres to the east. The nearest Portuguese town is Fornos in Bragança District, about 8 kilometres to the southwest. The Portuguese side of the river around the dam site lies within the International Duero Natural Park.
context_section_description: A 30-minute documentary about the dam, La presa de Aldeadávila, was produced by Iberduero (the power company that built the dam) in 1963. Several scenes in the 1965 David Lean film Doctor Zhivago were filmed at the Aldeadávila Dam. The dam's famous spillways were opened for the filming, and are shown in the motion picture open at full force.  Another scene depicts workers walking into one of the dam's enormous tunnels. The final scenes of Antonio Mercero's 1972 film, La cabina (The Telephone Box) were also filmed inside the dam. Terminator: Dark Fate filmed a scene at the dam.
caption: The initial and final scenes of Doctor Zhivago were shot here.
