Bridge over the Cares River
Highlight • Bridge
The bridge is a viewpoint with spectacular views of the river and canyon, which are part of the Picos de Europa National Park. The bridge is also a starting point for several hiking and cycling routes, such as the famous Ruta del Cares, which runs along the river between Puente Poncebos and Caín, or the route to Bulnes, a mountain village that can only be reached on foot or by cable car .
The bridge was built in 1921 as part of a project to build a road between Cangas de Onís and Panes. The road was completed in 1935, but was badly damaged during the Spanish Civil War. The road was later repaired and improved and is now an important link between the eastern and western parts of Asturias.
