Here’s a view that we don’t see every day. A view from the river, and in this case it’s the Douro River at north of Portugal. On board off a small boat I crossed under 5 of the 6 bridges, Arrábida bridge that was build in 1963 by Edgar Cardoso and was considered at the time the largest concrete span of any bridge in the world. D. Luiz I Bridge made by Teófilo Seyrig in 1886 with an arch bridge that spans Douro River between cities of OPorto and Vila Nova de Gaia. Then comes Infante D. Henrique Bridge build in 2003 by Adão da Fonseca. At the horizon I see D. Maria Pia Bridge raised 1877 under Gustavo Eiffel instructions, and then finishing the river trip under the S. João Bridge borne once again by the hands of Edgar Cardoso in 1991.
