8 Travel Photography Tips to Help You Master Your Camera

"I used the old bridge and its reflection as a natural frame for the newer bridge when shooting the bridge into the medieval town of Besalú, which helped draw the viewer into the scene." - Matthew Kepnes

Beautiful medieval old town worth visiting if you want a day trip from Barcelona. It's a nice change from the coastal cities and has different things to explore than the usual beach vibes.

This medieval bridge is very beautiful and really cool to walk on. There is a lot of information along the bridge that tells about its history as well as the history of the surrounding town. It is free to access and has a lot of shopping and dining nearby. There is also parking close by that is very cheap. This is a wonderful stop for families, solo travelers and couples of all ages.

There are plenty of information signs around the town covering the bridge, the old 10th century tower ruins and even early electrical hydro power plants.

Impressive view and cizy village for a stroll. Good value terraces. A must see. Half day is enough with lunch or drinks

Pont de Besalú is the iconic bridge connecting historic Besalú to the rest of Cataluña. The history of the bridge’s origins are somewhat unknown - however documentation of the bridge is known to exist from early in the 11th century. Defensive towers were added to it later and yet to this day it welcomes visitors from around the world to and dazzles them as the visitors enter historic Besalú.

It's a very picturesque Romanesque bridge. Free to cross and nicely lit up at night. The town of Besalú is nice and it is worth staying overnight if you can.

Wow, that bridge is seriously impressive! It looks so old and sturdy, like it's been there forever. I'd love to walk across it and take some pictures. Imagine the history it's seen! It makes me want to visit.

Must be the most beautiful bridge, if you like taking snaps. A real tourist trap, make sure you come early, or leave it until later.

Is it crazy to write a review for a bridge? Not sure, but I'm doing it. This bridge is amazing. It was originally constructed in medieval times. It is the perfect way to enter the idyllic village of Besalú. Once you step on the bridge and face the stone houses, it's almost like you're almost transported into time. I was half expecting a knight to ride across the bridge or to hear a trumpet fanfare for a king or queen. This is about 45 minutes' drive from Girona. Go here. See it. Step back in time.
