The bridge is brand new and has been repaired since February 2026 👍

It is located in a quiet rural area surrounded by pine forests and Mediterranean scrubland, with trails and nature all around, and retains a typical atmosphere of the Valencian interior.

Viewpoint next to the old N-III highway After passing the engineer's house, a turnoff leads to the viewpoint located above the old N-III highway. Sweeping views of the reservoir from a high, accessible point.

Hiking: Popular routes, such as the "Engineer's House" trail, offer viewpoints overlooking the reservoir and the Cabriel River gorges. Guided tours: Occasionally, the Hydrographic Confederation and the Villargordo Town Council organize tours and talks in the village of Contreras. Historic roads: The abandoned section of the old N-III highway and the Contreras Hills attract engineering enthusiasts, with their original 20th-century asphalt and signage.

Contreras Dam (Contreras Reservoir), located on the border between Cuenca and Valencia provinces. It lies between Villargordo del Cabriel (Valencia) and the Cuenca municipalities of La Pesquera, Mira, Enguídanos, and Minglanilla, spanning the Cabriel and Guadazaón rivers. Below the dam is the historic Contreras Bridge, built between 1845 and 1851 by Lucio del Valle, part of the old zigzag mountain pass.

Be careful, the footbridge as of October 3, 2025, is still not repaired (it was swept away by the Dana in October 2024). A ford crossing is possible a little higher up (towards the embalse), with water up to mid-thighs and a strong current, so be careful. Then to join the GR7, they climb the embankment (towards Benagéber). In the other direction (towards Chelva), I don't recommend crossing at this point because you have to descend from the GR7 via a steep and very unstable wall; I think it's dangerous going down. And be careful too, the GR7 is cut off higher up, but you can manage it by taking a long 5km detour via the path that climbs gently (or rather sharply) along the Turía River and rejoins the GR7 towards Chera. Then turn right and you can reach Benagéber.

It was built in 1972 at the confluence of the Cabriel and Guadazaón rivers. The dam height is 129 metres. Its purpose is, among other things, to supply water to the city of Valencia. The Contreras Bridge was built between 1845 and 1851 by the engineer Lucio del Valle. To descend the ravine, he had to build a zigzag road that formed the port of Contreras.
