Puente Mocha

Puente Mocha is on the road to Villaescusa, in the Sierra de Guadarrama, in a protected natural setting and preceded by a beautiful pine forest and a picnic area. Everything points to the fact that it was built in the fifteenth century over an earlier Roman period as an infrastructure to facilitate repopulation after the Reconquest. Although it is true that other studies associate it with the construction of the Monastery of San Lorenzo de El Escorial in the 16th century, being used to facilitate the transfer of wood and granite from the area. It measures 55 meters and the sight of its three eyes, two spillways and a last door thinly deserve the colophon of an excursion more than pleasant by this zone of the Sierra Oeste.
