Also known as Puente Viejo, the picturesque Tormes bridge allows us to cross the river of the same name when we ride through the town of El Barco de Ávila. The bridge is of Roman origin and reformed in medieval times.

The Old Bridge of El Barco de Ávila, also known as the Medieval Bridge, is one of the most representative symbols of this town in Ávila. It crosses the Tormes River and connects the historic center with the old communication route to Castile and León. Although its current structure is medieval (12th–13th centuries), it is believed to have been built on Roman foundations.
