Bridge of medieval origin that also receives the name of new bridge due to the reforms to which it was subjected in the 17th century, probably after a flood.

The arch has a span of 10.5 meters and the passage of the bridge is 4 meters wide. It is built in granite on the gorge of the Manzanares River in an area where there was originally a wool industry, hence its original name as it is located near a fulling mill that has been restored upstream.

Nice medieval bridge, close to a fulling mill (place where wool was treated to produce textiles)

Crossing point of Madrid - Segovia and source of many of its problems, especially in the first editions. Passing more than 2,000 cyclists out there was crazy.

One of the most picturesque places that Madrid - Segovia passes through.

Despite the fact that tradition attributes it to a Roman origin, the bridge was built in the Middle Ages.
It is named after an old fuller that exists a little higher up, although in the 16th century it also began to be known as the New Bridge.
We spent it in Madrid - Segovia, being one of the problematic points: bigjoe.es/reto-superado-madrid-segovia-mtb-completada

It is said to be a Roman bridge, and it is actually from the Middle Ages. Its name is due to the existence of a batan, upstream.

Nice bridge very close to the highway, from which you can access the Camino de Santiago in Madrid. Worth.

Although tradition attributes it a Roman origin, the bridge was built in the Middle Ages. It takes its name from an old fulling mill upstream, although in the 16th century it also began to be known as the New Bridge. It probably received this name after some remodelling, following a possible flood.
A branch of the Cañada Real Segoviana, a livestock route of approximately 500 km, which links the current provinces of Burgos and Badajoz, passes over the Batán bridge.
