Traveler reviews
macedonboy
★★★★★7 years agoThe officially named Santo Domingo Bridge, but popularly known by the locals as the Bridge of the Germans. This bridge spans the River Guadalmedina from Calle Marmole to the eastern banks. The bridge as others have mentioned has a nice history. The story goes back to 1900 when a storm wrecked the German ship, Gneisenau. Many locals joined in the rescue efforts, some of whom lost their lives in the attempt. When in 1907, the Guadalmedina burst its banks washing away the bridges, the German people decided repay the the rescue efforts of 1900 and built this bridge as a gift to Malaga. The bridge is nothing amazing to look at, but the story behind it makes it worthwhile to visit.
