Tips from the Community
Legend has it that during a flood in the early 20th century, a cart carrying its entire load of wheat was swept away, and the next day it reappeared intact beneath the central arch of the bridge, as if the river had kept it to return it. The locals considered it a miracle and for years left dried ears of wheat among the stones as an offering. Even today, in summer, when the water level drops, some of those ears can still be seen trapped in the cracks of the old wall.

An incredible stretch of the 'Vía la Plata' pilgrimage route south of Benavente towards the small town of Barcial del Barco. Disused railway line converted into an adventure paradise, far from cars and traffic.

This is a beautiful place to cross the Elsa River. The views are beautiful, and the old stone bridge with the arches is impressive.

The N-630 as it passes through the province of Zamora and right next to it there is a dirt track. It doesn't follow it all the way, but it's a good trail for mountain biking or gravel.
