This bridge is supposed to be the oldest bridge in Spain. It is how we arrived in the town of Hospital de Orbigo after covering more walking distance than ever before--30k. I read that this bridge was built by the Romans in the 13th century though I thought I had read that it was older even that that. It is odd when our lives overlap with the lives of people living in the 13th century. I´ve been thinking today about the cathedral in Leon. I find it mind-blowing. I´m trying to imagine how it appeared to people who had never seen a photograph or a movie or talked on a phone. They must have thought it proof of God´s existence.
