The Magdalena bridge crosses the Arga river in a beautiful setting, the Parque de la Tejería. Built in the 12th century, but with Gothic details and remodeled in 1963. The name comes from the neighborhood where it is located, La Magdalena. Apart from being an important point on the Camino de Santiago , this bridge is part of the Arga River Park.
