talavera de la reina - A 26-year-old British man passed away after falling from a bridge in Spain while creating content for social media. Local authorities confirm the incident as a tragic outcome of attempting to climb the Castilla-La Mancha bridge.
A city councilor confirmed to Sky News that the man, accompanied by a 24-year-old fellow traveler and compatriot, traveled to the bridge to create social media content. The exact nature of their content remains unknown. However, the 26-year-old man lost his life while climbing the bridge. "It has resulted in this unfortunate and sad outcome," said the councilor.
Climbing the Castilla-La Mancha bridge is strictly prohibited under all circumstances, added the local politician. This rule has been reiterated 'on many occasions.' Hence, it seems to be a bridge where daredevils often test their luck.
The Castilla-La Mancha bridge, inaugurated in 2011, stands as Spain's tallest cable-stayed bridge. The 192-meter-high structure over the Tagus River consists of a concrete mainmast with multiple cables extending in a triangular pattern from the center.
