O Xirimbao - Suspension bridge
At 80 meters long and only 1.50 meters wide, it is considered one of the longest suspension bridges in Galicia.
A peculiar metal structure that is suspended over the waters of the Ulla River and that connects the provinces of A Coruña and Pontevedra, by uniting the municipalities of Teo and A Estrada respectively.
Erected in 1964 under the direction of engineer José Darque, it was rehabilitated in 2012 by the Xunta de Galicia.
In fact, it is said that the construction of the bridge was motivated precisely to unite both fishing reserves.
A necessary work in a historical context in which the Dictator Franco enjoyed fishing in this area.
