I never get tired of looking at this bridge. This is a view from both sides. Their first bridge was completed in 1741, it was constructed quickly and poorly so it only lasted 6 years. It fell to the ground and 45 people perished. For the new bridge they used the best architects of their time and now it’s here to stay. You can go inside the bridge (the top/center) so I did. They used that space to put prisoners during the Spainish civil war. The worst war criminals were thrown out the door to the rocks below.
BTW; I can’t imagine how many photos have been taken of this bridge. Every year they find over 100 cameras/cell phones at the bottom of the gorge that were accidentally dropped over the edge.
