Canal de los presos del bajo guadalquivir: The Lower Guadalquivir Canal (also known as the Canal de los Presos) is an irrigation canal, hydraulic infrastructure originally intended to irrigate an area of 56,000 hectares in the provinces of Seville and Cádiz. It currently irrigates an area of 80,000 hectares that falls under the Community of Irrigators of the Lower Guadalquivir. It was built during the first Franco regime by several thousand political prisoners who were framed in the service of militarized penitentiary colonies, created in September 1939. They were the public works of the Franco regime that "for a long time [from 1940 to 1962] used political prisoners as the main labor force".

As a good pharaonic work, the builders decided to place a memorial obelisk with various images at the foot as a tribute to agricultural workers.

The Canal de los Presos del Bajo Guadalquivir, also known as the Canal del Bajo Guadalquivir, is an important irrigation canal in the provinces of Seville and Cádiz. The canal was built between 1940 and 1962 and has a length of 158 kilometres. It starts at the Embalse de Peñaflor and ends at the Embalse de Don Melendo in Lebrija. The construction of the canal was carried out by thousands of political prisoners who were deployed in the Servicio de Colonias Penitenciarias Militarizadas during the dictatorship of Francisco Franco. The canal was originally intended to irrigate an area of 56,000 hectares, but today it covers an area of 80,000 hectares. The canal plays a crucial role in the agriculture of the region by providing irrigation to the fertile lands along the Guadalquivir. It is an important example of the infrastructure built during the Francoist period and has deep historical significance due to the working conditions of the prisoners who built it.

The metal structure of this bridge attracts a lot of attention. The Camino de Santiago passes through here to cross to the other side of the river and link with Lora del Río. If you go by bike, you can visit it and rest on one of the stone benches. This bridge has no exit, it ends at a guardrail next to the road roundabout. If you feel like exploring it you can go all the way, but you will have to go back the way you came, unless you want to lift your bike over the guardrail.
