Above San Agustin Del Guadalix

Above our town are several Aqueducts.  Saturday evening we drove up to the Acueducto de la Retuerta which is one of the two you can see from the city. 
 This is about how far it is from our town.

 This aqueduct has 7 large arches built on top of a small bridge with 1 large archAfter doing some research we found that it isn't as old as we thought, being built just over 150 years ago in 1858.

 This picture, besides showing that we hiked to the top, was to show that it was finally warm enough to go jacketless.

Under the aqueduct there are these fun archways where we had fun practicing our double yells (echos). And under this was a large arched bridge for a small river.
