beautiful town. On the outskirts of this town, there is a reasonable place to spend the nite has both a dormitory for pilgrimages or rooms. I opted for a room with bathroom and breakfast included. Very comfortable surroundings and friendly staff. Pilgrims meals great.

I try to stay at La Trucha when I can. It is a Casa Rural with only four rooms, in the center of the town. Around the corner is a bar/restaurant that serves a good meal too. In the morning, after a good night's sleep, I am ready for the walk down to Molineseca.

I remember this well ... my legs were jelly by the time I got to the town. So tired I walked into the first place that offered a bed and once booked in, slept for 4 hours. Then a shower and dinner. If I'd walked another 500m - there is that lovely albergue. But I didn't care !

Glad you made it.

The first time I walked down that hill I was dehydrated and completely out of gas. Fortunately I had a friend that helped me get into town. Every year since then, I stop and stay in Acebo. The Camino has a way of helping you find your limits.

Yes there is a very knew albergue - its the one where the flags are on the western edge of town. It has a pool!!!!

Nice picture, I think the most difficult part of the Camino is the descent from Cruz de Ferro to Molinaseca but breaking it up by staying in Acebo makes it easier and safer. It's going downhill when you are tired is when you are mostly likely to twist and ankle or knee. The albergue with the flags is Casa del Peregrino it is also a hotel but the albergue part is very modern.

I agree that it is a very difficult walk. After a couple of times on the Camino, I started walking on the road from Acebo. Traffic is light and the walk is much easier. That is normally the alternate route when the trails are flooded after heavy rains.
