Guadiana International Bridge (Ponte Internacional do Guadiana)

The Guadiana International Bridge (Guadiana International Bridge) carries the A22/A49 highway linking Spain and Portugal across the River Guadiana just north of Vila Real de Santo Antonio and Castro Marim.

It is the third-longest bridge in Portugal and is the work of Portuguese engineer, José Luis Câncio Martins.
