Nuez de Ebro is a town in the province of Zaragoza, in the community of Aragón. The town is of medieval origin, founded by the Knights of the Nut, who were part of King James I's expedition to Mallorca to conquer the Muslim kingdom. Its most important cultural heritage is the palace house where the town hall is currently located, forming the same architectural complex with the church of San Martín. Part of its term is occupied by the directed natural reserve of the Sotos and Galachos del Ebro. The galachos are natural spaces formed from ancient meanders of the Ebro River, which when changing its channel form lagoons, islands and riverside forests. These wetlands have their own flora (reeds, tamarisks, salces, poplars) and fauna (birds such as buzzards, jackdaws, woodpeckers, blackcaps and others).

From this bridge you can enjoy the views of the Gállego River shortly before it joins the Ebro. At this point in the river there was once a bridge over which travelers crossed on the Camino Real between Zaragoza and Barcelona.
