Lovely bridge, very photogenic. I went at dawn and took some photos I was happy with. It has a wide pedestrian section to allow you to cross by foot or bike.

Es muy bonito, además el río está muy limpio, no como en Badajoz (por culpa del camalote) y por los alrededores viven muchas aves

Bonito puente y en un entorno espectacular, puente de Calatrava, cuando empezaba su fama.
