The so-called Roman bridge of Guadarranquejo is a small historic bridge located in the municipality of Alía (Cáceres), within the region of Las Villuercas, in the surroundings of the Guadarranque river. It is an old stone bridge, traditionally considered of Roman origin (although it is not always fully documented). It crosses a stream or an arm of the Guadarranque river, a tributary of the Guadiana.

Beautiful viewpoint with a small parking lot, there is a path of approx. 600 meters to the gorge. Hundreds of swallows nest in the opposite cave.

During the twenties and thirties of the last century, a railway route was approved that was intended to connect Badajoz, Madrid, and Huelva, passing through Villanueva de la Serena and Talavera de la Reina. The rugged foothills of the Villuercas proved to be an insurmountable obstacle, leading to the project's abandonment three decades after its inception. As a reminder of that ill-fated project, today we are left with a grandiose viaduct at the gates of Guadalupe, crossing the broken valley of the Guadalupejo from end to end.

Hiking is fine, the second part from the campsite is quite steep, but doable with good shoes.

The floral decoration of the openings and the popular architecture of the adjacent houses give this gate one of the most unique images of the city. Continue further into Calle Sevilla to the fountain.
