Many <a href=\"https:\/\/pipandthecity.com\/destinations-on-the-celtic-routes\/\">places in Wales are full of Celtic legends<\/a> and spooky stories. One such place is Devil\u2019s Bridge in the Cambrian Mountains. <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At Devil\u2019s Bridge, three separate bridges span the 90-meter waterfalls of the River Mynach, each built on top of the other between the 11<sup>th<\/sup>\u00a0and 19<sup>th<\/sup>\u00a0centuries.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to local legend, the Devil built the original bridge because it was considered too difficult for mortals.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The story begins with an old woman who must cross the deep Mynach Gorge to retrieve her cow from the other side of the river.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/walesbucketlist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/CambrianMountains_-89-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2364\"\/><\/figure>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Devil offered to build the old woman a bridge. However, it was on condition that he\u2019d take possession of the soul of the first living thing that crossed it. The old lady agreed, and the Devil built the bridge.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Before crossing the bridge, the old lady removed an old crust from her apron and threw it towards the cow on the other side of the bridge.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Her hungry dog eagerly chased it over the bridge. The Devil, expecting to get the old woman\u2019s soul, got that of the poor dog. It\u2019s one of the most mythical Halloween destinations on the Celtic Routes in Wales. <\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Day of The Dead in Oaxaca, Mexico<\/h2>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image
