Ponte de Gundián

Ponte de Gundián is a railway viaduct that spans across the Ulla River valley, connecting the provinces of Pontevedra and A Coruña. The structure rises high above the river with a sequence of stone arches supporting the track above.

Construction of this railway structure started in the middle of the 20th century as part of broader railway modernization efforts in Galicia. The project took about a decade to finish while keeping operations on other parts of the line active.

The bridge sits near a baroque chapel from the 18th century that draws local visitors. This sanctuary and its surroundings shape how people experience this place as one with spiritual meaning.

The best vantage point for viewing the bridge is from a designated area near the chapel of Gundián. From here you get a clear view of the entire structure and the valley below.

The bridge is known as a venue for extreme sports and draws people seeking bold activities at great height. Its striking location makes it a destination for thrill-seekers in the region.
