Los Santos Bridge
Ponte dos Santos
A bridge spanning the Eo estuary and linking Galicia with Asturias. The old iron-ore loading pier beside it is a popular spot for viewing the bridge and the sunset.
The bridge opened to traffic in 1987. It is over 600 m long and marks the boundary between the two autonomous communities. The old iron-ore loading pier north of the town, Cargadoiro, has been converted into a viewing platform for panoramic shots of the bridge and the estuary. There is also a footpath across the bridge for walking over the river. The estuary is a wetland reserve, and migratory birds are common here in winter. It is about a 15-minute walk from Ribadeo port.
