Story · Ponte 516 Arouca

You're standing at Arouca 516, one of the longest pedestrian suspension bridges in the world. Look along the bridge to the far side. It seems a long way off, and it is: the bridge is 516 metres long. That number is right there in the name, together with Arouca, the municipality in northern Portugal where you are now.
