Tips from the Community

Jorge Ramos 🇧🇷
December 14, 2025, Ponte de Pedra sobre o Rio Neiva

Key Information Location: Neiva River, on the border of the municipalities of Esposende and Viana do Castelo, Portugal. History: The original bridge was built in 1930 at the behest of the owner of a watermill and a fishing lodge that existed on the site at that time. Renovation: Over time, the bridge suffered damage due to the impact of fallen trees during storms. In 2020, the reconstruction of the bridge was announced, in a project financed in equal parts by the two neighboring municipalities. North Coast Ecovia: The stone bridge (reconstructed or restored) is part of a set of green infrastructures that make up the North Coast Ecovia, a pedestrian and cycle path that enhances the Neiva River estuary and connects the two municipalities, offering a bucolic and tranquil environment for walks. The bridge is a picturesque spot, frequently visited by those traveling along the ecovia, inviting a peaceful stroll and observation of the surrounding nature.

After heavy rain, the bridge is flooded, but still accessible.

This bridge is located in an idyllic place, in a widening of the river as it leaves the eucalyptus forest that surrounds it. The smell of these trees together with the sound of the small waterfalls, make this a mandatory crossing point. In addition, someone has entertained himself by drawing the arrow of the Camino de Santiago in the river with stones, which is a very original idea.
