Travel Guide Puente Genil

Located southwest of the province of Cordoba, this city of 30,000 inhabitants is part of the Campiña south of Cordoba Province, but at the extreme limit of the province of Seville. It owes its name to the Genil River, which has always played a fundamental role throughout the economy of the region, but also for the meeting in 1834 of two entities belonging administratively to two different provinces: the villa "Ponton de Don Gonzalo", founded during the reconquest by Fernando III and located on the right bank of Genil (province of Cordoba), and the small Barrio de Miragenil, located on the left bank of the river (Seville province). By walking around the city, we quickly understand this old division and the subsequent efforts to gradually rearrange the approaches of the river that crosses it. Its privileged location in the heart of Andalusia has earned it a very good communications system (trains including AVE, roads). On the other hand, we will appreciate the mosaics of his Romana villa Fuente Alamo, a few kilometers away, but also an industrial heritage of the nineteenth century (electricity or flour production houses or plants) that the municipality now puts forward after perhaps a little delay. Finally, notice to sweet beams is the high location of the chord.
