Good spot for a photo

As bridges go, the one in Cordoba is perhaps better.

But this one is an excellent point to get a very good view of the two cathedrals and other monuments, and take a photo as a souvenir. It's an old bridge, pedestrianised - but watch out for the bicycles!

There is a contraption at the end where one can take selfies by putting in your phone into the metal holder and then adjusting it so you can see the whole bridge. Brilliant idea. The tourism department of the city knew exactly what was needed to produce excellent images at the exact spot where the bridge gives its best angle.

This ultra photogenic bridge undoubtedly deserves to be photographed as a remembrance for the people who come and...
