Spanish term or phrase: vecino mar
Sus especiales condiciones de suelo, clima y vegetación hacen de ella un hábitat excepcional de mariposas; junto al vecino mar de Ontígola, una presa construida en el siglo XVI y convertida en un extenso humedal, ha sido declarada Reserva Natural. En el Regajal una pequeña bodega produce vinos que en pocos años han logrado considerable prestigio.

agree  Isamar: I like adjacent. If it's a reservoir it's odd to call it "mar" don't you think?!!

agree  neilmac: I dislike "adjacent" for this particular text. "Neighbouring" better preserves the core notion of the original IMO.
