Ancient bridge (11th century) with towers..
Reviewed By AndrewF31_KA - Manresa, Spain
The bridge is a magnificent work of man and the views of the bridge and from the bridge are amazing. Albeit very different, the ambience reminded me of the Latvian town of Kuldiga which as an old bridge with a long little waterfall on the river. Take a walk into the town and continue to be impressed by the architecture and wavey tight streets. There’s a lot of tourist shops and little ice cream parlours (gelaterias). One shop we enjoyed a lot was the Taller de Cuir (Pont Vell number 12, very close to the bridge) which had a lot of medieval-style articles (writing pens old notebooks, etc) and some nice non-commercial articles. You can get a map from the Tourist Office, outside of the old town across the bridge, for free, which shows you a route you can do in the town and read up on different spots. The walk along the outside of the town overlooking the river and bridge is very pleasant.

Besalu is spectacular medieval town, close to both Girona and Barcelona. Easy to spend 2-3 hours exploring, this bridge and castle was incredible. If you're in the area, strongly recommend stopping by.
