It is not easy to take photos from a car, the windscreens are not 100% clean and even if you have a tripod, to hold the camera steady can be a challenge. Also you don’t always get the best shot from the passenger’s side.

Now I was kind of lucky here – since I was in a British car [rephrased to RHD suggested by Richard, see below in the comments!] in Portugal and Spain – so it looks like I am in the middle of the road and bridge. (Which I by the way pretty much was!)

This photo ended up with a very clear picture of the construction.

The bridge is over the Guadiana river in the Algarve. The Spanish side is the village Ayamonte and the Portuguese is Castro Marim. It was completed in 1991, after nearly four years, and has a total length of 666 m between the abutments, is 18 m wide and 20 m above sea level at its centre point.

It was a lovely sunny day and some grocery shopping were done in Spain and lunch back in Porgual, Castro Marim at resturant Infante, where we were offered free Almond Liqueur with our coffee. – A great day!
