Better Days

Mostar, in what was Yugoslavia. Blown up in 1993 during the Croatia-Bosnia war. Never been there with the van but on a tour.

Certainly a couple of my better days. Anyone hazard a guess where each is....2 separate locations.

No, right country, obviously but not looking towards Skye.

Well I'm a bit surprised that none of the regular "over there" trippers didn't recognise that bridge. But to give a bigger clue as to its whereabouts here is a more well known destination about 30 minutes drive away (and a reminder of the bridge!)

I always like a bit of street architecture to brighten up a place so here's a few found on our travels in Germany.

these are both April last year, Mazarron area and Peniscola, can just see OH in the distance returning from one of her marathons, since having both knees replaced I like more sedate walking, Fido is just lazy

Now here’s a horse that has certainly seen “better days”.
Photo taken October 2016, suspect it’s been removed by now!

My first thought were like NTH's , Mostar, but that was a no no, then Ronda but it is not quite right, last thought is Besalu. So many similar bridges, even have a couple of similar photos in my collection but cannot remember where I took them. If its not any of the above I give up.

Half right, PD, the second picture is Besalu. The bridge is in a smaller medieval town not so far-away. We stayed in a family run hotel which was once the home of the composer Isaac Albeniz (hint, hint
) and our room overlooked that bridge.0 -
Here are the photos I have, the first one looks like Besalu and second like your bridge but no clue as to where but they were taken on the same trip on the way to Andora.

I wish I could claim it as mine, but that's me leading the way down.

Spoiler Alert!
My electronic researching came up with this:
"Camprodon ([kəmpɾuˈðon], [ˌkamburˈðon]; from Camp Rodó "Round Field", ultimately from Latin Campus Rotundus) is a small town in the comarca of Ripollès in Girona, Catalonia, Spain, located in the Pyrenees, near the French border."

It is Camprodon! 👍
We stayed in the hotel of the same name, where Albeniz was born. It was a quaint old fashioned place, would have been ideal for an Agatha Christie yarn. The owner was also the chef and I seem to remember them serving us with a huge lamb stew, more than any of us could manage, and then coming round with a massive tureen offering us seconds!
Behind the hotel is the village market place with an amazing variety of fruit and vegetables on the Sunday morning.
We were heading for Girona and then on to Barcelona.

At first I thought your bridge was up in Asturias. We did a couple of tours along Cantabria and Asturias in the nineties, by car and before digital cameras, and visited the bridge at Congas de Onis. It's famed as the start point of the campaign to oust the Moors. This photo from wikpedia.
