Puente de la Herradura

This area is in a privileged location in the Bolera reservoir, with its bridge to cross a depression in the ground.

The Herradura bridge spans the Guadalentín canyon at the end of the Bolera reservoir. The construction is from the time of the swamp, when the water from the dam flooded the valley and buried the Molinillo bridge, which was near the confluence of the Guadalentín and Guazalamanco, through which the cereal roads and the herds that passed between the towns of the valleys and the farmhouses of the mountains.

The name of the old bridge is due to an old flour mill where the wheat of the peasants of the mountains was ground. When the water level of the reservoir is low, you can see the remains of the bridge and the mill.

Beautiful old stone bridge over the deep ravine and river below. The views here are beautiful and the bridge itself is also beautiful to see.
