This beautiful stone bridge, which crosses over the Tres Cerros stream, is located in a spectacular setting. It is a much less crowded area than Los Pilones, and is part of the Carlos V hiking route. There are some pools of transparent water in which to relax your feet before continuing the march.

The bridge is so called, since Emperor Charles V followed this route to go to the Monastery of Yuste, where he would spend the last years of his life.

I wish more Spaniards bothered to know their own history to be able to combat this Hispanic phobia that we have been enduring for so many centuries but that today is especially vehement.
