Lovely Portuguese town just the other side of the Spanish border. After the bridge across the river Mino the road is all cobbled but ridable on a road bike. The town is peaceful and full of green spaces cafes and a good Lidl supermarket for ride re-fuelling.

Highlight • Bridge

The old Minho river bridge is one of the few places in Europe where I still managed to take a photo next to the old country signs. Most EU internal border crossings these days are not easily noticed ...

Ponte da Veiga

Highlight • Bridge

The Ponte de A Veiga in Tui, Galicia, is an ancient medieval bridge also known as the "Roman Bridge." Its original construction is attributed to the Romans, and it stands over the Louro River, near where it flows into the Miño.
The Ponte de A Veiga was built of granite and consists of four arches. It was part of the ancient Roman Via XIX, which connected Bracara (present-day Braga, Portugal) with Santiago de Compostela.
Pilgrims walking the Portuguese Way to Santiago de Compostela pass over this bridge, making it a place of great historical significance.
If you ever visit Tui, don't miss the opportunity to cross this beautiful bridge and immerse yourself in its history and charm. 🌉🚶‍♂️
