About

Quick facts: Spanning 125 meters over the Ebro River, this bridge links central Logroño to the historic neighborhoods across the water. Its stone arches have supported foot and cart traffic for nearly 700 years, witnessing centuries of local history unfold.

Highlights: Look closely and you’ll find a tiny chapel dedicated to Saint James embedded in one of the piers, where pilgrims on the Camino de Santiago stop to pray. The bridge's layered stonework reveals repairs and extensions from as early as the 13th century, showcasing the evolving medieval architecture in vivid textures.

Insider tips

Wear comfortable shoes as the stone surface can be uneven and slippery when wet.
Capture the bridge best at sunset when the golden light highlights the textured stone arches.
Avoid busy pilgrimage days in late spring to stroll more peacefully and hear the river's flow.
Check out the chapel on the northern pier for a quiet moment and photo op few tourists notice.
