    Tips

    The Descalzo Bridge is one of the best-known bridges on the Roman Road of Fuenfría, in Cercedilla. Although long attributed to its Roman origin, more recent research suggests that, although the road crossed here in Roman times, the bridge itself may have been built or heavily modified in the 18th century (Bourbon era).

    Despite this, it is located on an important section of the Roman road that linked Segovia with Titulcia, and has been restored several times, maintaining its original structure. It is a masonry bridge with a single arch and blends perfectly into the natural environment, being part of a popular hiking trail in the Sierra de Guadarrama (the Schmith Way). Both the bridge and the road have been declared a National Historic, Artistic, and Archaeological Site.
