The Henchidero Bridge is located near Alarcón (Cuenca), within the Hoces del Júcar natural area. It is a historic bridge that crosses the Júcar River downstream from the Alarcón Reservoir, very close to the small Henchidero Dam, which regulates the flow in this area. It is on the PR-CU71 "From Bridge to Bridge..." route, which connects the Picazo Bridge with the Henchidero Bridge, following the course of the Júcar River.

It offers a breathtaking panoramic view of the Júcar River's meander, Alarcón Castle, and the vertical canyons carved by the river. You can also see the small dam (Henchidero Dam), the Tébar Bridge, and the defensive towers that flank the gorge.

The Alarcón viewpoint overlooking the Júcar River gorges is part of the PR-CU71 trail. The viewpoint is located just before entering Alarcón from the CUV-8033 road, on a clearing next to the Torre de Armas (Tower of Arms), at the beginning of the PR-CU71 "From Bridge to Bridge..." trail. It has free parking and an information panel about the route.

The name of this town originates from its role as a crossroads on the ancient routes that connected Complutum with Carthago Nova in Roman times, and on the Silk Road that linked Toledo with Valencia and Cartagena. It derives from the Arabic word "rutba," the tax paid for the passage of livestock. A true inheritor of so many peoples and cultures, La Roda has absorbed the best of each, evident in its beautiful town center, its magnificent Church of El Salvador, and the Palaces of the Doctor de La Encina and the Counts of Villaleal. It is currently very well connected to the provincial capital, Albacete, from which it is only 36 km away. The entire town center has been declared a Site of Cultural Interest for its historical and artistic value.
