PT: "Memória da fronteira é um dos grandes símbolos das relações entre Portugal e Espanha. Nos passadiços laterais guarda as memórias das tantas vezes que a Irmã Lúcia, vidente de Fátima, a residir em Tui, atravessou para ir à missa a Valença.

GPS 42°02'10.6"N - 8°38'48.5"W

Datada de 1886 tem uma extensão de cerca de 400 metros, sendo o tabuleiro inferior rodoviário e o superior ferroviário.

A meio da ponte sinta a simbologia jacobeia e a mística de estar num local único, colocando um pé em Portugal e outro em Espanha. Aprecie o rio Minho, e a catedral fortificada de Tui."

EN: "The memory of the border is one of the great symbols of relations between Portugal and Spain. The side walkways hold memories of the many times Sister Lucia, the seer of Fatima, who lived in Tui, crossed to attend Mass in Valença.

GPS 42°02'10.6"N - 8°38'48.5"W

Dating from 1886, it is about 400 meters long, with a lower deck for roads and an upper deck for railways.

Halfway across the bridge you'll feel the Jacobean symbolism and the mystique of being in a unique place, putting one foot in Portugal and the other in Spain. Enjoy the River Miño and the fortified cathedral of Tui."
