The history of Salamanca's Roman bridge is intertwined with that of the city itself, and it has been one of its defining features for centuries. Located in a position that facilitated human settlement and the development of economic activity, its proximity to the three hills and the Tormes River made it a strategic location. It is a solid bridge, resistant to the passage of time. For centuries it served as the main access point to the city, until a new bridge was completed over the Tormes River in 1913, allowing the passage of vehicles.

The Cuesta de los Caenes section is part of a very accessible circular route near Cabrerizos, on the outskirts of Salamanca. No shade, ideal for cool days. Suitable for families and children. Beautiful views of Cabrerizos, Salamanca in the distance, and the Tormes Valley. The route passes by the Arroyo de Las Caenes stream, and the Cuesta de los Caenes is one of its most recognizable sections.

The fact that a place on the Iberian Peninsula is included in the list of the three most famous pilgrimage destinations in the Christian world – along with Jerusalem and Rome – is thanks to one of Jesus' apostles, who is said to have preached here. After his martyrdom, which is briefly reported in the Acts of the Apostles, his body miraculously found its final resting place here: Saint James the Greater. A small local sanctuary was initially built over his grave; later, a city developed that even bears his name (Santiago de Compostela), and the church in his honor became a cathedral, i.e., a bishop's church. According to national legend, Saint James also played a key role in the reconquest of the Iberian Peninsula from the Moors and is the patron saint of Spain.

The Roman Bridge of Salamanca, also known as Puente Mayor del Tormes, is an ancient bridge that crosses the Tormes River in the city of Salamanca, Spain. This bridge has a rich history and is a testament to Roman and medieval architecture.

The Roman Bridge, or Puente Romano. This magnificent granite structure with 26 arches crosses the Tormes River. The 15 arches on the city side are of Roman origin, while the rest date from the 18th century, when a restoration took place. It is such a great symbol for Salamanca that it is included in the city's coat of arms.

Beautiful piece of plateau with enormous views, wonderful for cycling.

Closed as of 11/24 for renovation. A detour of more than a kilometer. But nice for photos.
