“A 26-year-old man from England died after falling from Spain’s tallest bridge while trying to climb one of its pylons to create content. The man, who has not been identified, fell from the Castilla-La Mancha Bridge, about 70 miles southwest of Madrid, the Mayor’s Office said in a news release Sunday. Climbing the bridge which crosses the River Tagus outside the town of Talavera de la Reina in central Spain is ‘totally prohibited,’ the news release said and ‘cannot be done under any circumstances’ which the council said it has ‘reiterated on many occasions.’ The deceased was accompanied by another 24-year-old British man, and it was learned the two ‘had come to Talavera to go up to the bridge and create content for social networks, which has resulted in this disastrous and sad outcome,’ local councilor Macarena Munnoz said.” (10/15/24)
