Bridge Story: Coral de Piedra is located on an 'island' set between 2 rivers. There was a foot bridge before, connecting between the 2 communities and allowing the people of Coral de Piedra to get from their town to the 'main land' and the road while also allowing the kids of Melara to go to their school in CdP, but this bridge was washed away last November and since the kids are jumping from rock to rock..
