[QUOTE="CWBuff, post: 1052227, member: 86656"] IMHO the 2 sections combined were absolutely the worst descend I went through At the afore-mentioned food truck stop (Manjarin) where I also enjoyed my go-to drink KAS Lemon the lady quipped that "its not so bad...its all downhill...and then you come to a beautiful river..." The descent to El Acebo was (understandably) bad enough. At the very 1st Bar (name escapes me...but the Tuna salad was THE BEST!) there were lots of discussion about the upcoming "phase 2". There were 3 ladies from US who called a taxi to take them to Ponferrada. They graciously offered another Peregrina & I to give a lift to Molinaseca, at which point someone else stated that while "the looming descend is steeper the trail itself is better"... which cemented our resolve to decline the offered ride and continue walking Needless to say the descent WAS steeper but the trail did not get better :confused: To add to it all, i was so fixated on that 'beautiful river' that [I]i surely must come to (and reasonably soon)[/I] that at some point (probably with 2-2.5 km left) I foolishly decided to change boots for sandals... which only added to the overall time it took me to descend (sandals, as I am sure lots will agree, is not a good footwear on steep downhills) Not sure what river the lady was talking about - looking at the map there are quite lots of bodies of water in the area....but I didn't see any until i was literally face-to-face with Puente Romano So... [USER=102272]@Mananath[/USER] - I am glad that you felt it was a really fun section! 👋 [/QUOTE]
