Peña Cortada

Highlight • Monument

This impressive stretch is what gives the aqueduct its name. Known as Peña Cortada, it is a monumental vertical cut in the rock of about 20 meters that you can cross and at the end you will have a carved door that allows you to cross to the other side where the bridge over the Alcotas boulevard is located.

Peña Cortada Aqueduct (Puente de la Rambla de Alcotas)

Highlight • Monument

Declared an Asset of Cultural Interest, this colossal work of hydraulic engineering was built by the Romans in the 1st century AD. The aqueduct is one of the most important in the country and conserves stretches of 28km.

Peña Cortada tunnels and galleries

Highlight (Segment) • Structure

Undoubtedly the most picturesque and striking section of the route that crosses several sectors of tunnels and galleries carved into the rock with some windows onto the ravine that allow beautiful photos of the entire landscape that surrounds it. A place that is conditioned to move without problems, ideal for a tour with the whole family and a place that attracts the attention of adults and children!

Viewpoint of Peña Cortada (Calles)

Highlight • Viewpoint

Nice panoramic point of the ravine that allows you to appreciate its great dimension as well as providing a shortcut to take a shorter route and return to the parking lot that is located near the Torre ravine.

Aqueduct: Tunnel Carved into the Rock

Highlight • Monument

A short detour from the alternative path will take you to this section of the aqueduct that is not the most visited since it is only a few meters of tunnel because the end is closed by rocks and earth that were surely part of a landslide. It is safe since the section is excavated in the rock.
