Ponte dos Santos, Highway bridge between Ribadeo and Castropol, Spain

The Ponte dos Santos extends 600 meters across the Ribadeo estuary, featuring a modern design that connects the regions of Asturias and Galicia.

Inaugurated on July 29, 1987, the bridge underwent a significant expansion in 2008 to accommodate the A-8 motorway traffic requirements.

The bridge takes its name from two religious structures: the Chapel of San Roman in Figueiras and the Chapel of San Miguel in Ribadeo.

The structure serves both vehicle and pedestrian traffic, providing a direct route between the municipalities of Ribadeo and Castropol.

The Spanish postal service recognized the bridge's significance by featuring its image on a commemorative stamp issued in May 2013.
