The old bridge with waterfall is one of the must-sees when traveling in northern Portugal. The Bridge of Mizarela (Portuguese: Ponte da Mizarela) is a medieval bridge that crosses the Rio Rabagão, between the municipality of Ruivães and the municipality of Ferral. It was built in the Middle Ages and reconstructed in the early 19th century. According to local legend, it was built by the devil himself.

Beautiful old arched bridge with waterfall. Accessible by a short hike.

A must-visit if you're in the area! There are two ways to reach the bridge (about 30 minutes). In the early morning, you'll be alone here. It's a real treat, especially in spring when the gorse is in bloom all around.
