The San Marcos Bridge is located in León, and is a civil engineering work dating back to the 16th century. It crosses the Bernesga River and is located at the exit of León towards Astorga. This bridge is known for its historical and architectural importance, and has been a crucial step for pilgrims on their way to Santiago de Compostela.
