The Boeza Bridge began construction in the 16th century and took more than 20 years to complete. During the works, a large flood destroyed its main arch, which caused the bankruptcy of the builder, Juan de Suertes. Despite the challenges, this stone bridge remains in excellent condition. If you ever have the opportunity to visit, you will immerse yourself in the rich history of Ponferrada and enjoy its historical beauty. 🌉🚶‍♂️

Statue of Nazareno Lambrion Chupacandiles

Highlight • Monument

The Lambrión Chupacandiles statue in Ponferrada is a bronze tribute to one of the most iconic figures of the local Semana Santa tradition. Installed in 2024 at the Church of San Andrés, the statue depicts a Nazareno in a black hooded robe, holding a bell—just as he parades through the city each year to announce the arrival of Holy Week. The figure, which originated in the 17th century, is linked to the Hermandad de Jesús Nazareno and takes its name from a legend that says he tasted wine and even oil from candlesticks along the way. Designed by Tomás Bañuelos and Soraya Triana, the sculpture has become a recognizable symbol of Ponferrada's religious heritage.

Medieval Bridge of Toral de Merayo

Highlight • Bridge

This bridge, which connects the neighborhoods of Toral and Merayo, is built over the Oza River and combines traditional architecture with the natural beauty of the area. Its slate and limestone masonry structure evokes a sense of historical authenticity. Although it is not as famous as other medieval bridges, its uniqueness and location make it an interesting place to visit. 😊
