Here you can enjoy a beautiful contrast between the iron viaduct through which the Aceite greenway passes and a magnificent Roman bridge that still stands over the stream.

The Viaducto del río Víboras, also known as Puente Eiffel, is a historic metal viaduct in Alcaudete, Jaén. This viaduct was built between 1891 and 1893 by the engineers Alessandre and Delapierre and was originally part of the Linares-Puente Genil railway line. The viaduct spans the Río Víboras and is 224.1 metres long, 4.5 metres wide and has a gálibo of 80 metres.

The bridge that stands out above is El Pontón.
The medieval bridge over the Víboras River, restored in 2001, is located in the natural area known as “El Pontón”, within the municipality of Alcaudete. It is a clear example of civil architecture and its objective was to save the narrow course of the river.
Popularly known as the "Roman Bridge" because it is believed to have been part of a branch of the Roman road, it is 9 metres long and approximately 7.5 metres high. The existence of two Iberian-Roman sites in the area has also been the cause of the erroneous chronology of this construction.
