    Despite what some publications erroneously indicate, this is not a Roman bridge, but it dates back to the 18th century when it was built to continue the surveillance path of the Pardo fence, at that time a royal hunting ground.

      Groundhog Bridge

      We are heading to the northern end of the municipality of Madrid, practically on the border with Colmenar Viejo. Here is the Marmota Bridge, which was built in the mid-18th century over the waters of the Manzanares River, next to the wall of Monte de El Pardo.


      The first thing that surprises you about this construction is its name. How is it possible to call it that, when there are no marmots in Spain? The answer is simple: it is really a degeneration of the term 'mamotar', by which a hill near the bridge was known.
