Bridge over the river Hozgarganta

Our river in Jimena is the Hozgarganta, which flows at various levels throughout the year and this is the much used bridge over it. There is a ford further down which is not passable when the river is high. The Hozgarganta is meant to be one of the most ‘virgin’ rivers in Andalucia; how true that is I am not sure, however I do have a friend who swims in it 3/4 of the year and she certainly looks well on it! I took a photo to work on a week ago and when I was back down there 2 days ago the level had already dropped right down from how I had drawn it.
