Bridge Over the Tagus Reservoir

Highlight • Bridge

This bridge allows you to circumvent one of the most important structures in modern Spain, the Tagus reservoir, the longest river in the Iberian Peninsula with more than 1000 kilometers in length. From the top you can see the majesty of the reservoir and the bridge of the high-speed railway line, another marvel of modern engineering. Under the waters lies the original layout of the Roman road that has succumbed to the current needs of Extremadura.

Convent of San Antonio de Padua

Highlight • Religious Site

It is surprising to find such spectacular ruins. It is a convent dating from 1496. We hope that they can be cared for as they deserve and that the historical heritage that it represents is protected.
