Southern bridge access across the scenic little river into the pilgrimage stopover town. There's also a great natural hot bath

The bridge over the Umia River is a work of great historical and cultural value located in Galicia, Spain. It is a Roman bridge rebuilt in the 16th century by order of Philip II ¹ ² ³.

This bridge is known for its fertility rite that was based on the superstition of prenatal baptism. According to tradition, the waters that flow under the bridge had favorable properties for women with problems getting pregnant ².

The bridge is also known as the Bridge of the Godfathers or Ponte dos Padriños and has a medieval inscription from the reign of Philip II ¹ ². The route that goes around the Umia River offers a pleasant and recommended route to get to know the area of the Salnés region ².
