빌라누에바 데 알코론‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪18‬개의 천연기념물

This spectacular bridge is almost hidden from view and serves as an excuse to cross the Tagus River from one bank to the other. It is very well preserved and is located next to several striking rock faces.

This descending valley, which runs alongside the Tagus River for many kilometres, is full of unique and unrepeatable corners, due to the capricious formations that occur every few metres.

Peñalén Bridge or Tío Lucas Bridge. It was built in 1943. It is over the Tagus River just before the Valdepedro Strait, next to the extraordinary rocks called Los Picones de San Pedro. It is a place of extraordinary beauty. A few meters below, the Cabrillas River flows into the Tagus.

Beautiful place, surrounded by nature from all angles.

What a great and interesting area. The rocks, arch, and trail in this area are wonderful for walking or running. At the entrance to the rock arch there is a sign with details and drawings of the limestone rocks.

The trail reaches a crossroads at the junction of the Fuente Nueva and Arco boulevards and turns left along the bottom of the ravine. The surface is excellent for running and the terrain is favorable. The tracks on the forest track run through the pine forest along the edge of the dry riverbed and reach the natural wonder of Peña del Arco, the stellar spot for the trail through an arch of calcareous rock that cross the ravine from side to side. There are also limestone walls, small passageways, loose blocks and tormos, which are the characteristic mushroom-shaped karst formations sculpted by dissolving water. The lower part of the stone tower is usually narrower than the upper part because it has suffered a greater incidence of erosion due to humidity and water currents. At the entrance to the rock arch there is a sign with details and drawings of the karstic modeling of the limestone rocks.

Bridge built in 1943 in stone masonry formed by two large arches that connect the two banks of the Tagus River.

This section of the well-known "Montañas vacías" bikepacking route runs along the banks of the Tagus River through an incomparable landscape setting. Beautiful views in every corner of the river and the impressive gorges that it has formed over thousands of years. A unique and incomparable place.
