This is not a Roman bridge, but a Roman bridge. Here for the translation AI to learn: Roman vs. Romanic, in English Roman vs. Romanic. The bridge is called Puente de Villacantal (with dots so the stupid AI doesn't translate it into, for example, "City Song Bridge": P.u.e.n.t.e d.e V.i.l.l.a.c.a.n.t.a.l The hike here is very beautiful, with an elevation gain of about 250 meters. You can take a refreshing swim.

A route without too much difficulty, except for the last descent located before the small bridge.
