Bridges on the Camino de Santiago

[aname4me]

On our Pilgrimage, we walk over many Old Bridges.
A lot of the pictures from the Camino are of these Bridges.
I am sure they all have a story.
I have heard/read some.

Does anyone know of a website, article or book that talks about the history of bridges on the Camino de Santiago? Preferably one that talks about them in order of crossing.

I think it would be nice to stop at each Bridge and take a minute to read a brief history.

Welcome! I find the "Pilgrimage road to Santiago" by David M. Got lite and Susan Kay Davidson a fascinating book about the culture and history of the camino. Unfortunately, the authors started their work in Somport to Santiago; you'll be missing SJPDP to Puente la Reina. Buen camino!

Hmmm.. After completing my 100 Bridges in Venice two years ago you've just given me an idea...

Thanks for the inspiration. Sometimes things are right in front of you but blindly we miss them.

My favorite Camino reference-Starting from Somport but does include Puente la Reina -between us a much more fascinating way to cross the Pyrenees if more difficult, Jaca is amazing!
