Puente de San Pablo
A stone bridge over the Arlanzón linking the El Cid statue and the Museum of Human Evolution, with eight statues of characters from the Cantar de mio Cid standing along its parapets.
The eight statues on the two sides of the bridge include El Cid's wife Jimena, Bishop Jerónimo, the loyal vassal Álvar Fáñez, and others, each with a short description, so you can read the story of El Cid as you walk. From the bridge you can see the riverside promenade and the distant cathedral spires. Crossing the bridge brings you to the Museum of Human Evolution and the new town, making it the main walking route between the old and new parts of the city.
