Ponte Ledesma

Ponte Ledesma is part of the Camino Real from Santiago to Lugo. Work of the stonecutter Juan de Herrera, XVI and XVII centuries. In this bridge took place, during the War of Independence, a failed battle against the French army in charge of the neighbors of the region led by several parish priests and under the orders of the Marquis de la Romana. Around Ponte Ledesma you can find the Illas de Gres. They constitute a natural place formed by six islands. Oaks populate the six islands, five of them: San Ramón Island, Os Namorados Island, A Palleta Island, Pachín Island and A Praia Island are linked by walkways that allow visitors to pass through. We will do maintenance work, cleaning the bridge. We will realize informative panels in wood that explain the history of the bridge and its surroundings. We will also know, through encounters with people who live in the place, the history of the bridge, its legends, etc.
