RE: Puente del Dragón ~ 🐉 Dragon bridge in Alcalá de Guadaíra, Sevilla Spain 🇪🇸

in Architecture+Design2 years ago

Hey Jackie @littlebee4. I wasn't expecting to see a dragon-themed bridge in Spain. And although I've encountered these mystical creatures most of the time in the East, they also have accumulated their own European versions, stories, and legends. I simply admire how the load-bearing components of that bridge's structural pillars have been embedded as well as camouflaged into the dragon's curling body to define its overall appearance. Moreover, those mosaic artworks are incredibly stunning masterpieces of architecture. 😊

Hmmm, I wonder what other Spanish creatures might be lurking nearby?...lol 😁

Hello @storiesoferne 👋🏻
Interesting to see indeed a dragon bridge in Spain, the least of the places you would expect it.
This fits so much better in the East. But I’m glad it was here and I could visit it 😁
Yes, they did a good job structural wise to hold the bridge up. It just flows so well over that distance.
To mosaic’s were stunning to see up close.

It might surprise you what you can find in Spain hehehe 😉 will do my best to find more interesting ones 😇
Have a truly wonderful start of this new week!

Definitely @littlebee4. I'm really becoming excited about what other unexpected surprises you have in store for us. Spain is indeed a beautiful country that's super-blessed with architectural treasures, and it would be great to document most, if not all of them in our beloved community for the entire world to experience. Until your next interesting story, have a fun-filled week! Take care! 😊

That’s great to hear @storiesoferne 😊
Not sure if I could document all or most of it hehehe as just living (almost) 6 years in Spain and before the end of the year we are moving to another country… 😉 (lived in 5 different countries so far) but I travel a lot… and just love to document interesting designs and architecture all over the world 😎
Thanks a lot, you too!
Take care… 👋🏻😊

Oh okay, I see. No worries @littlebee4. Well, if that's the case, we would love to experience the wonderful architecture not just from Spain but from all your international travel adventures. Meaning - more spectacular content from you to look forward to. Happy touring! Cheers! 😎😊

Thanks so much… @storiesoferne 😉
Littlebee4 the European ~ International traveler hahaha 🤣
Hope to settle down soon, (living wise) as after more than 30 moves I have no roots anywhere… would be nice to grow some. 🌳
Cheers!

Hahaha 😁 I agree, that would be an awesome title for you @littlebee4: Architectural explorer, digital nomad, and globetrotter all in one. Indeed, authentic curiosity can literally transport us anywhere in the universe. 😊

Even cooler now 😎😁
Yes, curiosity can change the world and let you travel anywhere…
