From Ledesma there's about three and a half km of a great walking until this old bridge. So depend on the mood you are, you can just enjoy of a great walk thru the old holm oaks until you get to the river and if you want to bring something to stay and enjoy the peaceful sound of the river, the walk will be pleasent.
(Translated by Google) Cool hiking route. The place is very beautiful both upon arrival and during the path that crosses a farm with livestock. It is a simple and very beautiful route and the bridge is very well preserved with information panels. (Original) Ruta chula de senderismo. El sitio es muy bonito tanto al llegar como durante el camino que atraviesas una finca con ganado. Es una ruta sencilla y muy bonita y el puente está muy bien conservado con paneles de información.
(Translated by Google) 02/26/2025 A stone bridge with five arches and 75 m in length to cross a stream, that of the Cañedo River, its mere presence transforms the landscape. The two ends of the short bridge connect those well differentiated ones. On the left bank of the river there remains a group of oaks as old and plure as the bridge. On the right bank, the stone road becomes a path that winds through a broken terrain, crowned by rocky ridges, where a thick mass of holm oaks grows, so much so that due to its density it borders on the limit of what we know as Dehesa to become a holm oak forest. Practical information. The Mocho bridge is accessed via a well-groomed dirt track that leaves to the right of the SA-311 highway a few hundred meters from the Río Tormes bridge, in Ledesma. There is a parking lot to park the vehicle, from there we will make our way to the mocho bridge, carefully and respecting the signs that we find, since it is a private pasture and there are loose cattle. (Original) 26.02.2025 Un puente de piedra de cinco arcos y 75 m de longitud para salvar una vaguada, la del Río Cañedo su sola presencia transforma el paisaje. Los dos extremos del puente mocho conectan de esas bien diferenciadas. El margen izquierda del río a un perdura, un grupo de encinas tan viejas y plure como el puente. En la margen derecha, la calzada de piedra se convierte en vereda que serpentea por un terreno quebrado, coronado por cresta rocosas, donde crece una espesa masa de encinas, tanto que por su densidad roza límite de lo que conocemos por Dehesa para convertirse en un bosque de encinas. Información práctica. Se accede al puente Mocho por una pista de tierra bien arreglada que sale a la derecha de la carretera SA-311 a unos cientos de metros desde el puente del Río Tormes, en Ledesma. Hay un parking para estacionar el vehículo, desde ahí partiremos nuestro camino hasta el puente mocho, con cuidado y respetando las señales que nos encontramos, ya que es una dehesa privada y hay ganado suelto.
(Translated by Google) A lovely round-trip walk of approximately one hour from the parking lot on the outskirts of Ledesma to the bridge. (Original) Preciosa marcha de ida y vuelta de una hora aprox. desde el aparcamiento en las afueras de Ledesma hasta el puente.
(Translated by Google) If you want to forget about everything for a while, this is the ideal place. Nature in its purest form. (Original) Si quieres olvidarte de todo por un rato, éste es el sitio ideal. Naturaleza en estado puro
(Translated by Google) Beautiful views during the walk until you reach the bridge. It is about 3 kilometers and we did it in 45 minutes (and the same on the way back. In spring it is beautiful. The bridge is worth seeing and crossing, then the path continues connecting more towns (they tell you about it on an indicative sign, in case you want to continue). There is a small viewpoint with the history of the bridge. There is parking to leave your car and I recommend that you bring water on hot days, there are no fountains along the way (private property) You can also continue by car until just at the entrance of the bridge, any type of car is fine since the dirt road is well maintained. (Original) Preciosas vistas durante el paseo hasta llegar al puente. Son unos 3 kilómetros y los hicimos en 45 minutos (y otro tanto de vuelta. En primavera está precioso. El puente es digno de ver y cruzarlo, luego el sendero sigue comunicando más pueblos ( en una señal indicativa te.lo cuentan, por si quieres seguir). Hay un pequeño mirador con la historia del puente. Hay parking para dejar el coche y recomiendo que llevéis agua en días de calor, no hay fuentes por el camino (finca privada) También puedes continuar con el coche hasta justo la entrada del puente, cualquier tipo de coche vale ya que el camino de tierra está muy acondicionado.
(Translated by Google) 30 minute walk, gentle path for all ages (Original) 30 minutos andando, camino suave para todas las edades
(Translated by Google) A magical place, with rock formations that do not seem natural. A Roman bridge that lasts over time and a short but interesting hiking route. Walking among oaks and bushes in the Salamanca countryside is a pleasure, especially in spring and autumn.
