Weird. I'm seeing Spain in the title but pictures of the western US.

Totally agree - this type of "copying" is a real pain in the you know where! How about just posting the actual picture rather that the whole link!
 
Is this happening now...or is that an old article?
Has anyone been on the bridge into Portomarin and been able to see the old town due to low water level?

Hello Grayland,

Looks like there is not much to be seen (2014) :

I walked over the old bridge into Portomarin on my last Camino in 2014.

There's a little more to see when you're down there than is evident from NavyBlue's photos, so that you get a bit more sense of the old town's layout and port area etc, but you can mostly get the gist of it from looking down from the upper bridge level, as I saw on an earlier Camino when the water level was mere inches above the old bridge level. The best thing down there is the river itself and how beautiful it is when it's not being a reservoir instead.
