    The Belesar Bridge is a significant construction in the Ribeira Sacra region of Galicia. This bridge crosses the Miño River and connects the towns of Chantada and O Saviñao. Originally, there was a Roman bridge at this location, but the Fenosa company built the current bridge on the large and strong pillars of the original, which can still be seen in times of high drought.
    The village of Belesar, divided on both sides of the Miño River, is known for the beauty of its landscape, its vineyards and as a historical crossing point between the Chantada region and the Tierras de Lemos. In addition, it is a prominent place in the production of cherries and has a pier from where river routes depart along the Miño River.
    The bridge is also part of the Winter Way to Santiago de Compostela, an alternative route to the traditional French Way that was used by the Romans to avoid mountainous areas during the harshest months of winter. 🚶‍♀️🌄😎🌉
