    The bridge popularly known as "Dragon Bridge" is built as part of the Alcalá de Guadaíra ring road. The structure created by Engineer José Luis Manzanares, also creator of the popularly known as "Puppet Bridge" in the capital of Seville. It measures 123 meters long, distributed in four spans
    The bridge is made up of two 7-meter carriageways made up of two lanes of 3.5 meters each, two 2.5-meter steel lanes and a 3-meter-wide central median. The structure emulates a dragon that comes out of the Castle hill crossing the Guadaíra river, at the foot of one of the largest Almohad fortresses in Europe. In this way, the dragon is the “guardian of the Castle” and the defender of the city, as well as the one in charge of receiving its visitors. The bridge is directly inspired by the work of the Barcelona architect Antonio Gaudí and in particular by the dragon that decorates one of the fountains in Park Güell in Barcelona. It shares with him and with much of Gaudí's work the use of pieces of tiles to decorate surfaces following the trencadís technique.
