This is one of the most ancient bridges of the city. It leads to the vicinity of Potes, among other things, connecting the great ancient road between the mountains of Valmayor and Tolibes. This is also part of the famous route to Santiago de Compostela, which pilgrims went from all over Europe. Not only the sea scallop shell attracted them, but also the best cork oak of the Cantabrian region, which grows on the Valmajor and Tolibes mountains. The bark of this tree was used several decades ago for bottle caps. The path passes through the village of Portia, which is now abandoned. And if you take a closer look at the signs, then along with the pilgrims' road to Santiago de Compostela, you can look at the sign for another important national shrine of Asturias - the heart of modern Spain - the famous Covadong cave, where the beginning of the Reconect was completed - 8 centuries later .
