The Bridges of the Cañada Cardeal

The Bridges of the Cañada Cardeal are part of the traditional network of paths that criss-cross the Fuentealbilla district. These structures were built to facilitate passage over ravines and watercourses, ensuring the continuity of the cañada—a historic drovers’ road used for the seasonal movement of livestock. They represent a fine example of vernacular engineering applied to landscape adaptation and stand as a testament to the municipality’s agricultural and transhumant past.
