Bridges gallore

Bridges have made part of our landscape for years and years, since the oldest Roman ones to the newest iron bridges we build in our time.
They have a great responsibility on them, joining people and towns. Rivers, besides providing citizens with water, are a natural barrier for both defending possessions and splitting populations. Thus, bridges become one of the most valuable constructions for a town.

As I can see, these bridges are also a treasure of the Spanish landscape. I have always liked bridges, as symbols of human communication. They are like a helpful and inviting hand, stretched over a precipice.
