Puente de los Peligros connects the historic centre with the Carmen neighbourhood and brings the Segura into your walk. Its name refers to the image of the Virgin of Los Peligros at one end. Pause only where you will not obstruct movement, then look towards the Glorieta and cathedral tower: the buildings take on a different relationship when the river enters the view. Nearby you can recognise the riverside mills and, in another direction, Manterola's footbridge. You do not need to cross every bridge to understand the landscape. Choose a short stretch and return to the centre, or continue towards the Malecón if time allows.

Plan this visit
The shrine explains the name
Locate the Virgin’s shrine at the Carmen end and connect it with the crossing over the river. The municipal listing relates this devotion to historical fear of floods. We suggest comparing that protective meaning with the bridge’s everyday role today: infrastructure brings movement, memory and belief together in one place.
Cross with something to compare
Before crossing, choose what to compare from the other bank: the relationship between garden and buildings, or the river’s place in the urban landscape. You need not stop in the middle of the crossing to observe it. Return to the centre afterwards or add a riverside section; decide how you will return before turning the pause into a longer extension.
