Puente de Cabrera, Bridge in Granada, Spain

Puente de Cabrera is a bridge in Granada, Spain, that crosses the Darro River with a single low arch. The structure is built of brick and masonry, featuring a low arch with a brick ring and high stone parapets with brick bands, connecting the Carrera del Darro with the Almanzora neighborhood.

The bridge likely dates from the early 17th century, when the Carrera del Darro was remodeled after an explosion at a powder magazine near the Church of San Pedro in 1590. It is one of the historic crossings that have survived along this stretch of the Darro River.

The bridge is part of the traditional image of the Carrera del Darro, a street that follows the Darro River and is known for its historic buildings and views. Locals and visitors often walk along this route, and the bridge is one of the small crossings that add to the character of the area.

You can cross the bridge on foot at any time, as it is open to the public and free to access. It is best visited on foot as part of a walk along the Carrera del Darro, where you can also see other historic bridges and enjoy views of the river and the Alhambra.

The bridge has a single low arch with a brick ring, a simple design that reflects its functional past. Its high stone parapets with brick bands are a detail that often goes unnoticed by those who cross it.
