VIADUCTS OF TIME AND COMMUNICATION...AND CONQUEST:
I've always admired our desire as a society to lay down paths of communication (while not ignoring conquest as an equal motivation), and particularly liked, when driving back last week to the coast from Granada, in Southern Spain, this confluence of structure and time of the the three (+1) bridges over the River Izbor ravine where the Sierra Nevada Autovia (A44), and the Carr. Bailen-Motril (N323a) and local Calle los Acebuches tunnel road cross. The (+1) refers to a very old ?11th century bridge that was located where the 1860 bridge is now and where the ancient "mule drivers" path that approached it still exists.
