This ingenious bridge with road, pedestrian walkway and railway line was designed by Gustave Eiffel to connect Viana do Castelo with Darque. Along its more than 500 meters in length, it has exceptional views of both banks and the Limia River.

Metal bridge from the school of Gustave Eiffel, inaugurated in 1878. With its 562 m length, it spans the mouth of the Lima River and connects Darque and Viana do Castelo with pedestrian and car traffic on the upper bridge deck and train traffic on the lower bridge deck.

A great bridge built by Gustave Eiffel that crosses mam on the Camino. As a pedestrian, you don't have much space, but you do have a great view of the Lima River.
