Of the three medieval bridges in Canencia, this is the furthest from the town, near the municipality of Gargantilla de Lozoya. Crossing the waters of the Canencia stream, this bridge of medieval origin has a single pointed arch, with a deck that is wider at the ends than in the center. Thanks to the height of the two rocks that function as its foundations, the height of the pass protected it from possible floods.
