The Jesús Nazareno bridge, popularly known as the "Roman bridge" because it was built over the remains of a Roman construction, crosses the Guadaíra river in the heart of the old town of Alcalá de Guadaíra. It did not receive its current name until 1944, when the City Council renamed it in honor of the Brotherhood of Jesús Nazareno, which every Good Friday, at dawn, reenacts the scene of the arrest on the bridge before ascending to Calvary.

Do not ride in wet conditions or after rain! The mud will stick to the bike so badly that you can no longer ride it!!
