Ourense, Spain
Four rivers cross the town: Miņo (the main river), Barbaņa, Loņa and Barbaņica. The biggest river divides a rather industrial western suburb, which contains the railroad station, from the main town. Three highway and one railroad bridge cross the river in addition to the famous Roman bridge, Ponte Vella, which is now closed to vehicle traffic. The town is surrounded by forests, mainly oak and pine.
