Location

The Santa Margarida Bridge is located in the city of Vila Real, spanning the Corgo River. Positioned to the east of the urban center, this structure marks a passage point between the more consolidated area of the city and its riverbanks and rural areas.

From the bridge, it is possible to observe the surrounding landscape, characterized by the presence of the river and its banks, which combine more urban elements with green and open spaces typical of the Trás-os-Montes region.

Connection and Local Context

This bridge plays a fundamental role in connecting Vila Real with the areas situated on the left bank of the Corgo River. Through it, access is provided to various properties, farms, and scattered dwellings in this part of the territory.

While crossing the Santa Margarida Bridge, visitors can gain a perspective on the interaction between the city and its more rural environment, observing the flow of local life and how the river and its banks shape the region's daily life.

Serene Setting

The Santa Margarida Bridge offers an observation point to appreciate the Corgo River, which meanders calmly beneath the structure. The bridge's surrounding environment is often tranquil, inviting a pause to absorb the serenity of the place and the natural beauty of the Corgo valley.

It is a site that allows one to feel the atmosphere of the Corgo watershed, providing a refuge from urban bustle and a closer contact with the nature that accompanies the river's course.
