Puente de Hierro

The metal structure spans 199 meters across the Dúrcal River valley, standing 53 meters high with black-painted steel frames and stone pillars.

Originally constructed in 1906 near Gor, the bridge was dismantled and relocated to Dúrcal in 1924 for the Granada-Dúrcal electric tram line.

The bridge represents Spanish railway engineering evolution, connecting Granada's agricultural regions through early 20th-century transportation infrastructure.

Visitors access the bridge through a landscaped path created by the Dúrcal municipality, offering pedestrian and cycling routes across the valley.

The structure survived a proposed demolition in the 1980s and transformed from a railway bridge into a pedestrian crossing with mountain views.
