The “Eiffel” Bridge
Right. Back to Eiffel. This bridge has been called “de l’Eiffel” because of the company that built it. In 1876, the local government published an auction for a new bridge. Three companies beavered away before finally presenting their proposals. But only one company submitted a winning project – the company of Gustave Eiffel. Eiffel won by presenting a budget of 19.750 pesetas. Must have been seen to be good value at the time. And it probably was. Despite some repairs and a bit of re-painting, the bridge has endured until today. I’d say those pesetas were money well spent – wouldn’t you?
