Where is this bridge and lovely resting place on the Inglés?
OK- two for you VNwalking:So Greg, it's your turn to puzzle us...
(And I never had to walk across whatever that is, and likely wouldn't try. What the heck. You can wash mud off...)
Okay I'll guess...though my bridge on the Ingles is still floating out there
I think it's the Boeza Bridge in Ponferrada on the Frances and the Invierno.
OK- two for you VNwalking:
First
"a bridge of a similar name it seems
but of a later time and a different queen"

Second
I don't expect anyone to recall this one, it may even have dissappeared by now.
But thank you Robert, I found your bridge delightful.

That looks like it to me. Not the first bridge that Google shows but the main trafficed one. This upset me a bit as I crossed this bridge last year. Then I remembered that I approached the bridge at night and when I left in the morning the spans of the bridge were behind me. It's no wonder I didn't recognize the bridge.Your first bridge is the
Puente La Reina de Jaca on the camino Argonese
While we wait for her to puzzle us further, we still have [USER=22852]@Theatregal's Ingles bridge. What we know for sure is that it's before Hospital de Bruma where the two ways merge. And that it's at the beginning of town.
Is this the Ponte Baxoi a few km before Minho? - it was pissing with rain when I passed that way several years ago, so I didn't take a pic, and I carried on to Betanzos (lovely albergue, lovely town) rather than staying in Miño.
Here you goIt is indeed!! I do believe that you are tagged for the next bridge
No. First clue: it's at one of the six places where one of my caminos has crossed over the Duero/Duoro.Najera?
So sorry @mspath ! Just saw that you had correctly identified a bridge before mine!!If you wish later today I will post a new entry.
CPI turns right off the Torres at Peso da Régua, on the Duoro (if I make it, that will be my fifth Duoro-Duero camino crossing, joining Zamora, Toro, Tordesillas and Soria).
Afraid not - I've yet to do that bit of the Camino de Madrid but, if I ever do, that will be my seventh crossingAlan
Is your bridge the Puente de Puente Duero?
I'm very glad you emerged unscathed!The traffic usually won!
Looks like the little bridge in the small industrial area before entering Astorga. If correct, my favorite bean company, Legumbres el Maragato, should be just on the right after crossing.Also on the Camino Frances.
Yep, I’m that guy. Both times walking over that bridge I think fondly of the meals I’ve had and made with those beans. Then comes the “Footbridge of never ending Sadness”. The modern bridge over the new rail route with the 0.1% grade and endless switchbacks.
The most hated bridge in Spain.The modern bridge over the new rail route with the 0.1% grade and endless switchbacks.
I have two photos of me standing about 10-15 metres to the left of where this photo was taken. Cheers@RENSHAW started this and we solved the riddle. So I'm going to keep it going with bridge No. 2. If you guess the bridge, it's your turn to post the next one...
Again, it's on the Camino Francés.

Hola Margaret, I love this bridge - I have a photo of my wonderful "camino daughter" walking ahead of me. CheersVNwalking,
In years past we pilgrims walked on a narrow medieval bridge at Villarente in frightening competition with on-coming contemporary lorry traffic. The traffic usually won!
Luckily in 2012/2013 this dedicated pedestrian-only bridge was added. What a relief it is to gently stroll along this elegant low wooden way without fearing being hit or run over!
Well I’ve searched through my photos and other than the well known bridges on the CF I have nothing so I will need to passWell next time, I will notice!
The most hated bridge in Spain.
So it's your turn to try and stump us.
Go for it, Darby. You'd likely have lots of takers if you started one. (There was a similar thread a few years ago that went on for some time...)Should a thread open for say, church steeples or maybe alters or some other fun pieces
I suppose you take a gift from whom it's offered, but this is an odd benefactor for a restoration. Good for them for supporting skillful and authentic (one hopes) restoration.It is now being restored by a local bodega.

Buy their wine, everyone.
I can't remember the name of the town. I could find out but with too much effort. The prize will be awarded to someone else.And the location is?
Thank you for posting this one @mspath One of my favourite bridges. Such a beautiful spot on the first day of the Finisterre / Muxia route with the history / legend of the bridge playing a great role in the camino story.Theatregal,
Right you are!
And I read your post after waking up from a Sunday siestaTheatregal,
Have you another great bridge photo for this puzzle? At the moment I need a siesta.
Theatregal,
Is this the Ponte Medieval sobre o Rio Este near Vila Conde at Touguinhó?
the Ponte de São Gonçalo on the rio Tamega at Amarante?
Theatregal,
Is your photo the Puente románico de Ramallosa ?
Your shot would be towards San Pedro de Ramallosa from Santa Cristina de Ramallosa.
2006 , Spain and franceRenshaw,
Was that the blizzard of February 2006 or March 2010? In France or Spain?
@RENSHAW , is that leaving Burguete?2006 , Spain and france
2006 , Spain and france
@RENSHAW , is that leaving Burguete?
You are both spot on - the drifts were were very deep and the blizzard was to follow soon after this photo - very dangerous - crossing a field , deeply ploughed - once under natural forest the drifts abated and we could walk without too much hindrance - at the next town we called for a Taxi.Looking back towards the rear façades of Burguete buildings which aline north side of route N135 this photo depicts that walking bridge during warmer weather
I can hazard a guess , I seem to remember a tourism office right at the beginning of the bridge , that is probably what is temporarily closed?Crossing the mighty Rio Ebro on the Puente de Piedra. Oddly, Googlemaps says it is now 'temporarily closed." What gves — does anyone know?
I would say that this place is in Navarra.This time rather than a bridge , a place?View attachment 85101
Oh, of course. That makes a lot of sense.I seem to remember a tourism office right at the beginning of the bridge , that is probably what is temporarily closed?
Totally wild guess: is it Mañeru?This time rather than a bridge , a place?
While I don’t see any pimientos hanging I would assume they would be pimientos de piquillo which are all over southern Navarra. The buildings are tall enough to remove many villages. I’m saying Estella as it doesn’t remind me of Viana.This time rather than a bridge , a place?
Yes, it can be Fuente de los Chorros in Estella. I wouldn't say that Estella is southern Navarra.While I don’t see any pimientos hanging I would assume they would be pimientos de piquillo which are all over southern Navarra.

Neither would I; only relative to where the Camino Frances travels through Navarra. I’ve seen pimientos de piquillo planted as far north as Puente la Reina. Lodosa and the some of the surrounding villages, closer to the Ebro, are part of the Denominación de Origen.Yes, it can be Fuente de los Chorros in Estella.

I knew that the place was in Navarra because the two men on the photo are wearing traditional Navarro costume (txapela, scarf, black blouse) and also the Basque Navarro style of the building on the left. When you put Estella on your post I googled "Fuentes en Estella".Neither would I; only relative to where the Camino Frances travels through Navarra.

In looking at street view in Google, looks like the Plaza San Martín Enparantza, were as you say the Fuente de los Chorros resides.
This was a fun one; not so much on any Camino but the physical destination. The tower is part of the Igrexa de Santo Agostiño- Xesuítas, which would make this the Mercado de Abastos de Santiago. The marble fountain apparently no longer exists in this location as it was moved to the Alameda.
Very good!!. The only "Galician feature" that I saw on the photo was the woman carrying on her head. The bell tower seems Mudejar, so I first thought it was the VDLP in southern Spain.This was a fun one; not so much on any Camino but the physical destination.

La que acompaña a estas líneas es una postal de 1909 de la Plaza de Abastos de Santiago. En la imagen se puede contemplar uno de los primeros pabellon...www.elcorreogallego.es
This fun thread has been too quiet.... How 'bout this bridge? Shouldn't be all that difficult.
Sorry, I’d meant to offer a guess at this a while ago. This looks like a bridge outside of Burgos on the way to Rabe but I remember a prominent cutwater. Perhaps it was on the other side if this is the same bridge.No takers on the bridge pictured in #176, above! Pity....
Perhaps this will arouse someone's curiosity: "Here Alfonso VI, running to escape some thieves, fell from his horse. He invoked the Cristo be Benaver (a 12th C image still found in the church of Palacios de Benever, 14 km to the northwest), and managed to save himself."
