Again and again on the pilgrimage route to St. James (Camino Frances) - like here on the stage from Religiosos to Leon - valleys have to be crossed and rivers to be crossed. The bridges are sometimes comparatively modern, sometimes medieval and sometimes even older in origin. But always, and this is the main thing, they bring - of course not only, but also us pilgrims - safely to the other side.

Roman bridge

Highlight • Bridge

A bridge over the Río Porma, which Aimeric Picaud and Hermann Künig von Vach already mentioned in their pilgrim reports. It has twenty irregular arches and has had to be repaired several times due to flood damage. Behind the bridge are the remains of a pilgrims' hospice, the founding of which is attributed to the Archdean of Triacastela and Canon of León (Wikipedia).
