You arrive to the bridge at first light and the Guadalevín River seems to dare you to look over the parapet. Puente Nuevo rises like an engineered cliff, its arch slicing the gorge and throwing long shadows into the rift below. The day unfolds with narrow streets, white-washed façades, and a village literally carved into stone.
