Ricobayo is a locality in the province of Zamora, Spain. It is part of the municipality Muelas del Pan.
In the 1920s it was agreed to build a gravity dam on the River Esla at Ricobayo. It impounds the Ricobayo Reservoir. The dam is part of a hydroelectric scheme known as Saltos del Duero. This scheme involves other dams in the catchment area of the Duero such as the Almendra Dam. Ricobayo Reservoir is also used for recreation.[1]
Long important as a crossing-point on the River Esla, since the 1990s the locality has been noted for the Ricobayo Arch Bridge.[2]
