Thank you so much Rosina!!!!!
I look forward to using that bridge in a few months....those stones were a bit too exciting for me.  I used the stones when they were covered with water and slippery moss, my heart was pounding the whole time.

Hi Glenn and all,

You'll be happy[y to know that, while not completely finished, the Vaosilveiro bridge over the Rio Castro is already in use. The jurisdictional Culture Council informed that the recent swellings of the river had interrupted the work, but that the entire project will be fully completed in February. The stone bridge is missing only the side guards and the finishing touches at both ends.

The president of the Galician Association of Friends of the Camino, Jose Antonio de la Riera, has been pressing the construction of the bridge for some years at the urging of scores of pilgrims. . A couple of days ago he, and the mayors of Muxia and of Cee, Felix Porto  and Ramon Vigo, expressed their satisfaction over the completion and utility of the bridge. The inhabitants of nearby Lires, however,  continue to insist that the new bridge be fitted to accommodate cars as well.
