This is the smallest international bridge in the world – it connects Spain and Portugal

El Marco, a small bridge connecting the Spanish village of El Marco with the Portuguese village of Varzea Grande, is the smallest international bridge in the world.

It is known that the wooden bridge is 2.7 meters long and 1.4 meters wide, reports Telegraph.

By taking these few steps on El Marco, you will not only move from one country to another, but you will also change time zones, as Spain operates on Central European Time (CET/CEST), while Portugal follows Greenwich Mean Time (GMT/BST).


You can think of it as “the easiest way to travel through time.”

The current form of El Marco dates back to 2008, when it was built using community funds.

Due to its size, the bridge only allows pedestrian traffic and two-wheeled vehicles, such as bicycles and motorcycles.

Besides locals using it to travel between El Marco and Varzea Grande, the smallest international bridge in the world is also a popular tourist attraction. /Telegraph/
