Le pont d'Espagne

The Bridge of Spain is a beautiful building located not far from Cauterets to a height of 1500 meters. Accessible by car or by a walk along the paths of the Cascades, one million visitors come to discover its beauty. From this bridge, there is an enchanting environment offered to the visitor who can make beautiful photo of the bridge, or the waterfalls. Hikers will love to continue their walk towards the valley of Marcadau or to Lake Gaube with the chairlift. For the more energetic, a path will take them to Lake Huat. This site is a protected area. It is part of the Pyrenees National Park. Historically, the bridge used to cross the Gave, and allowed the visitors to trade to Spain. Crédit Photo : michael clarke stuff CC BY-SA 2.0
