Old Bridge of El Jándula

Possibly built in Roman times to be able to cross over the river Jándula, the Old Bridge of El Jándula or Mocho is located in the heart of the Sierra de Andújar Nature Reserve, on the Lugar Nuevo estate, a botanical paradise of leafy stone pines, ash trees, cork oaks and holm oaks, an area of great scenic interest and enormous ecological wealth. On the other side of the bridge, there is a stone stele with Roman inscriptions, a reminder of its Roman past, since there is good reason for the saying that the road from Cástulo to Sisapo passed through here.

The current 17th-century bridge has semicircular starlings and is a key point on the Old Way to the Sanctuary or Pilgrim's Way, which starts in the town of Andújar and ends at the sanctuary of the Virgen de la Cabeza. This is why it is so important both as a roadway and symbolically.

In the surrounding area there are other cultural assets of interest, like the fountain of El Madroño, a place of baptism for those on the El Rocio Pilgrimage for the first time, and the Ghost Tunnel, a mute witness to a railway project (1929) that was intended to transport coal from Puertollano to the Guadalquivir valley.
