As you know from aprevious post, A Ponte do Milenio
(Millenium Bridge) is the fifth bridge on the river Miño. It is
a-state-of-the-art construction that was inaugurated in the year 2.001. It was
designed by the architect Alvaro Varela and the engineer Juan M. Calvo, who
combined steel and concrete to build one of Ourense’s most important landmarks.

It is situated 500 metres from the Roman Bridge and
the contrast between the most ancient bridge and the most modern is definitely
an image photographed by everyone who visits the city. It is the contrast what
Lucía wanted to show in the postcard she made.

Some people call
it the Bridge of the seagull since you can see the silhouette of a seagull with
its wings deployed on the river.
