Through the Toba passes the path GR 147, so we can travel some sections either in the direction of Santiago de la Espada, or in the direction of the Casicas del Río Segura. You can also gain unforgettable views over the Segura Valley if you go up the forest track of Awake-up.

Cobos not only had territorial jurisdiction over these populations, but also exercised strong control over all of them of their Councils and their inhabitants.

In Torres, apart from certain actions to preserve the medieval castle, the Council planned various works throughout the 16th century, such as the capitular houses, the posite, the reform of the parish temple and a bridge, absolutely necessary to unite the town with the site of the Fuenmayor, where the mills of the secretary Cobos were located, by which the neighbors were required to pass. In the population, the only one who had a privilege to build mills was Cobos and his wife, Maria de Mendoza. Their control assured them of a safe income, so it was absolutely necessary to keep the bridge in good condition.

Dead Cobos, Mrs. Maria de Mendoza, through his butler Bartolomé Ximénez, ordered the Council to make a new bridge, as the old man was destroyed by a heavy storm. The project was carried out by Andrés de Vandelvira, an architect at the service of the family of Cobos. According to María José Sánchez Lozano the works began in 1561, and the following year the Council agreed that all that was left to rise from it should be done according to the trace of Andrés de Vandelvira: "(...) I saw what is left to be made of the work of the bridge that is to be done in the river of the said villa for the passage of the mills of the bread of his lordship (...) command that everything that is left to be made of the bridge be done by the trace that has given Andrés de Vandelvira (...). The bridge, which is currently preserved, although removed, is made of stone and has a single half-point eye rather high, as the ravine on which it rises is very deep in this area.

Vandelvira draws a bridge without great pretensions, without decorative attachments, in which security and permanence in time must take precedence over other aspects. Vandelvira will be an experienced bridge builder, sometimes simple as this one of Torres, others of great architectural and engineering monumental, such as those raised on the channels of the Guadalmena, Guadalimar (Ariza) and Guadalquivir (Mazuecos) rivers.

The ground is limestone and reddish. The vegetation that covers it is typically Mediterranean with species such as the oak, the lentisco, the retama, the olive thyme, the spatter, the steppe jara, the brown and the cuckoo.

Until a few years ago, on spring and summer Sundays it was a very busy place. The Sunday of Resurrection was difficult to find a shadow of free oak or chaparro, because almost all the people of Canena, Rus and other villages camped that day to enjoy a day of field.

In the vicinity of the Hueta there are waterfalls and a lagoon that we suggest you discover. Very close to the Hueta there are other villages such as Puente Honda and you can even approach the ruins of the castle of the same name.

It features a simple half-point arch cover with two small side voids imitating saetas. On the top we find a hornadine with the image of Mary Magdalena and on a side a small body of swordsman.

This spring has never been enough to fertilize all the lands that extend on a decreasing level towards the Guadalbullion River. On the other hand, the years of drought have always been very numerous, in which the volume of this source was significantly reduced, because the piezometric surface of the aquifer located to the north of the population, which gives rise to the Charca spring, is linked to driving through galleries with siphoning phenomena.
