This 13th-century bridge crosses the Miñor River and connects the municipalities of Nigrán and Bayona.

Pagan rites were performed on this bridge; when women had problems getting pregnant, they had to go to this point after twelve at night to convince the first man who passed by to give them a "prenatal baptism". In this way, the man poured water on the woman's womb and became the godfather of the future baby. Once the ritual and the party were over, they threw the food and drink left over from the celebration into the river to give thanks for the magical powers of the water.
