Mocho de Beas Bridge

Connecting the municipalities of Chiclana de Segura and Beas de Segura, the Mocho de Beas Bridge, which is used for transhumance, is actually a Roman bridge over the Guadalimar river. It is located on a secondary branch of Via Augusta, a path also known as "Road of the Carthaginians" or "Hannibal's Road". It was a more direct way to go from Cástulo (Linares) to Carthago Nova (Cartagena) than following the Granada route.
Coming off the bridge we can see a cobbled section of the old road. The bridge is made up of an access road, a first straight section with four arches, two small ones to lighten the bridge's weight, and two larger ones, masonry vaults and tympanums.
It was widely used by Saint Teresa of Jesus and Saint John of the Cross, and continues to play an important role in transhumance, the annual process that moves livestock, mainly Segureño sheep, between the heights of the Sierra de Segura and the Sierra Morena meadows.
