Puente de Occidente (Bridge of the West)
  • The bridge is pedestrian-friendly, but people who use wheelchairs might find the pedestrian section too narrow for comfort.

  • The bridge is only wide enough to accommodate one car at a time, so be prepared for waits if you plan to drive across.

  • Puente de Occidente is a must-see for travelers interested in engineering history.
