The Horcajo Bridge is one of the old communication routes built in the 18th century. It belongs to the old Vía Real that linked Madrid and Malaga. The bridge stands over the river Campanillas and its great span is formed by a large arch on which you can still read an inscription that reflects the date of construction of the bridge. It dates from 1787, coinciding with the reign of Carlos III. The construction is made of large ashlars of grey and reddish limestone from El Torcal. From this bridge you can enjoy beautiful views.
