"The Bicentennial Footbridge was built during the 2008 Zaragoza International Exposition, named in commemoration of the Bicentennial of the Sieges of Zaragoza.
It is a tubular metal footbridge intertwined with several cylindrical helices.
It forms part of the Alfranca nature trail and connects the neighborhood of La Cartuja Baja and the municipality of Pastriz. It runs through the Galacho de la Alfranca natural area.
It shows signs of age and could use a thorough repainting."
