stone levee-bridge Explanation: The word albarradón does not exist in European Spanish, however, an aproximative translation i suggest is "levee-bridge" since "El albarradón de Ecatepec" works as a bridge and a dike/levee at the same time. This would be a modern "albarradón". http://www.historicbridges.org/ohio/stoneslevee/index.htm Good luck. |
