The Guadalhorce is a typical Mediterranean river. It rises in the Betic Cordillera and flows through an agricultural valley. Before its mouth, the river divides into two branches that shape the delta and the lagoon landscape. In the past, there were floods that were mitigated by river regulation and the construction of dams. Nevertheless, the renaturation and protection of the estuary is a focus of regional environmental policy.

Guadalhorce Footbridge
Highlight (Segment) • Bridge
Made from sustainable wood, the bridge blends harmoniously into the environment and is a good example of environmentally friendly infrastructure. It not only provides a functional crossing of the river, but also a place where visitors can enjoy the views of the nature reserve and the sea. Riding on the bridge by bike is a real experience in itself!
