Puente de la Pedrera

It is located in a suggestive wooded area and marks the point of inflection and course of the Alberche River. From the bridge you can see, to the northwest, the ravine deepened by the river, now used by the Picadas dam. Construction began in 1761 “with stone pilasters and wooden floor”, as stated in the license granted by the Royal Council of Castile, and was an important advance for communications, since to date only two smaller bridges allowed the passage of goods from one side to another of the Alberche, with the consequent right of kick. Restored a few years ago by the Community of Madrid, it preserves the wooden floor and the stone slabs as well as its imposing arches, no less than 24, built in brick, and the parapet, with sturdy pilasters of stone masonry.
