Portugal 2024

Coimbra – Oporto

The bridges over the Douro River. I snapped this shot from the train on a glorious sunny day. We passed over the Ponte de St. Joao (1991), and in the foreground is the Ponte de D. Maria Pia (1877, attributed to Gustave Eiffel). In the background is Ponte Dom Infante (2003), named for Prince Henry the Navigator (1394-1460), who was born in Porto.
