Bridges

[KinkyOne]

There have been many threads with excellent photos of windows, doors, animals etc., but I can't find one with bridges. So... here it is. I just hope we won't ruin pilgrim-rookies expectations when posting this...

Those are from:
- Villava (over Rio Ulzama)
- Pamplona (Puente Magdalena)
- Puente de la Reina (I guess that's the most famous on CF).

4. Hospital de Orbigo
5. Penaflor (Primitivo)
6. Ferriera (Primitivo)
7. Near Sarria

@Theatregal
So nice to see some other bridges than just those from CF. I hope I'll be able to post some from (any) other Camino by the end of August

In this post are bridges from:
- just after Cirauqui (remains of Roman road & bridge),
- before Lorca (over Rio Saldo),
- Estella (over Rio Ega),
- Burgos (Puente de Malatos).

Wonderful idea!!
* not so old -- between Viana & Logrono
* along the rio Ucieza approaching Virgen del Rio near Villalcazar
* same rio, a bit further on
* heading out of Sahagun
* just before Melide

I don't remember the new one before Logrono, but I think I saw some notice about building it here on the forum. It reminds me of the one entering Leon, so I guess it was built for safer crossing for pedestrians (e.g.pilgims).

A few more attached:
- Puente Itero over Rio Pisuerga (before Itero de la Vega),
- Virgen de Puente (before Sahagun),
- Puente Romano over Rio Cea (leaving Sahagun),
- over Rio Porma in Villarente.

This is a favourite, not because it is beautiful, just bizarre. It is on the Arles route, just where it joins the Canal du Midi before Toulouse. A pedestrian and canal bridge (complete with boat) over a motorway.

I can't believe I'm not only taking photos of bridges but also posting them worldwide, I really need to have words with myself but......

Ancient and modern bridges over the Mino at Ourense on the Via De La Plata.

I wish I had taken photos of the stepping stones in the small streams towards the end of the Francis. Usually they were under trees and to dark for my simple little camera.

A couple more "bridges" on the Le Puy route:

I don't know the river, but this is before Viana de Castelo on the Portuguese Camino de la Costa. Taken last week - a week of gales and rain.

 

[Gailsie]

First - bridge leaving Sarria, second - bridge out of Portomarin, it may not be used now. I remember how scared I was as it moved as I was walking across it and almost had a heart attack when someone started walking on it from the other end - was never so glad to get on land

Leaving Barcelos...

Here are some from the Via de la Plata:

The Alamillo Bridge in Seville, by Santiago Calatrava:

Four more:
- Hospital de Orbigo,
- Molinaseca,
- Portomarin (also low tide),
- Ponte Velha at Melide.

And the most beautiful. Well, that's for me... Maybe not only the bridge itself but all of its surrounding. Soooo..........., so, so , so whatever that I've really wanted to have (i.e.own) albergue right there
