Mr Cornwell

– i’ve just finished Sharpe’s Havoc – excellent as ever – and as we are travelling to Portugal in September, I thought it would be interesting to find the Saltador Bridge. In the historical note, you mention that both the Ponte Nova and Saltador are now underwater – however there is a bridge showing on Google Maps called the Ponte de Misarela that looks like it fits the bill – though that is over the Rabagäo (is that the current name for the Misarela?) Would be grateful for any thoughts or comments regarding the location of the Saltador – and hugely appreciative of your time.

Kind regards,

Alan
