Recreación Batalla La Puente en Montejaque

Two centuries after it happened, Montejaque celebrated an event that made a huge mark on the village, as well as the whole of the Serranía de Ronda. On 20 October 1810, the inhabitants of Montejaque, Benaoján, Atajate, Cortes de la Frontera and Jimera de Líbar, following the orders of the guerrillero José de Aguilar, expelled the French army in a battle which took place on the bridge over the River Gaduares during the Peninsular War against Napoleon.
On Sunday 24 October, 2010 the villagers of Montejaque re-enacted the battle, in which around 200 locals won a famous victory against 700 French soldiers.
