During the twenties and thirties of the last century, a railway route was approved that was intended to connect Badajoz, Madrid, and Huelva, passing through Villanueva de la Serena and Talavera de la Reina. The rugged foothills of the Villuercas proved to be an insurmountable obstacle, leading to the project's abandonment three decades after its inception. As a reminder of that ill-fated project, today we are left with a grandiose viaduct at the gates of Guadalupe, crossing the broken valley of the Guadalupejo from end to end.

An impressive piece of civil engineering from the 20th century. With a length of 274 meters and a maximum height of 58 meters, the bridge stands out with its large arches. Originally, the bridge was intended for the railway line, but the project was halted and the bridge was never put into use.

What to see in Alía (the village) Church of Our Lady of the Table: The main monument of the village. Of medieval origin, with later reforms. Its altarpiece and its elevated location, which offers good views of the surroundings, stand out. Old town: Narrow and quiet streets. Stone houses and traditional Extremaduran architecture. Ideal for strolling without haste and enjoying the rural atmosphere.
