Everything and Anything In Between

The 25 de Abril Bridge
This is a truly memorable bridge. Not only did I find it unique since it had a date as a name but it also looks similar to the Golden Gate Bridge of San Francisco. Our tour guide explained that the bridge was also made by a American Company that designed another bridge in San Francisco.
The story behind the bridge’s name is very interesting. Until 1974, the bridge’s name was Salazar Bridge. It was named after the country’s ruling dictator but after he was toppled out of power they changed the name to commemorate the starting date of the revolution.
