"Legend has it that on days when the River Douro is flooded, the cry of Orlando Beirão Valente, the clerk who crossed the bridge 16 times with the elderly and children, having fallen into the river on its seventeenth crossing. Today, citizens place lit candles and flowers at Alminhas da Ponte to remember the tragedy. Commons has a category with images and other files about Alminhas da Ponte"
