El Troncoso Viewpoint

From this viewpoint, located just above the rocks of Santa Marta, you get exceptional panoramic views across the Douro river. It is Entrepuentes street, named to be among the stone bridge (XII century Romanesque) and other modern bridge built in modern times. Opposite the viewpoint are the remains of an old bridge that doesn't exist anymore. Now there are only stone pillars there. You reach this point from the Puerta del Obispo or Olivares, located next to Bishop's Palace and the Casa del Cid.
