    LIVE from the Camino Muddy stretches between Rabanal and Molinaseca

    ...is March 21, 1024 If you’re starting El Francés around this time, be warned that quite a few stretches between Rabanal del Camino and Molinaseca are in pretty bad shape. Lots of mud, and some stretches are turned into shallow streams. Wear boots if you have them, or at least waterproof...

    Astorga to Molinaseca

    I’m wondering what the Frances route looks like this week between Astorga to Molinaseca. Has anyone on this forum been walking it recently? Are Albergues open and is the route good? We will be heading that way in a day or two.

    Lost & Found Urgent: Lost knife in Molinaseca, sentimental value

    My son lost a knife in a black case this morning in Molinaseca, either near the Roman bridge or the bar "dónde Maria". The knife has a great sentimental value to him. So please if someone found it, let me know.

    Descent into Molinaseca

    I walked the CF in 2022 and found the descent into Molinaseca after Alto Altar extremely challenging - in fact, it nearly broke me. On 5 May I return for my 2nd CF and would like to know how others tackled this descent. Are there alternative ways down?

    Safe walking route down to Molinaseca

    On my last Camino I needed to take a taxi down from El Acebo because I injured my knee coming down. Does anyone know if it’s possible to walk beside the road the whole way down? I know it would mean a longer descent down which I’m willing to do to stay safe.

    Trail Condition - before Molinaseca

    I just finished walking from Cruz de Ferro to Molinasca and I want to warn pilgrims about the trail condition. The trail is really rough with large loose rocks and other hazards. I started in SJPP and this is by far the most difficult section. Take a cab if you have any concerns about your feet...

    Laundromat in Molinaseca?

    Can someone please advise if Molinaseca has, or does not have, a public laundromat? Please don’t advise me if a particular pension has facilities. Thank you.

    Astorga-Molinaseca in the rain?

    Hi I’m spending the night now in Astorga and have a room booked for Molinaseca tomorrow. Getting concerned since the weather for both Poncerrada and Molinaseca show rain forecast then. Has anyone ridden down that section in rain? I am already a little apprehensive about the steepness and now...

    Rabanal del Camino to Molinaseca

    Myself and a friend are planning to walk from Rabanal del Camino to Molinaseca as one of our legs of the Camino. From what I have read this is the highest point of the Camino and a difficult walk. Could anyone give us any insight into duration of this walk/ fitness level required?

    Transport from El Acebo / Riego de Ambros to Molinaseca

    Does anyone happen to know whether there is usually a taxi waiting in either of these places to take pilgrims to Molinaseca? I have to be in Ponferrada early afternoon and will not have time to walk the whole way from Foncebadon. Thank you for any advice.

    Molinaseca to Rabanal?

    Does anyone have experience walking “backwards “ from Molinaseca towards Cruz de Ferro? In the rain? I had a rough go coming down the regular way several years ago. Worried about unsure/slippery footing and considering walking on the road.

    crucero del santo cristo in molinaseca

    years back, I came across an article about an excavation beneath this (more) modern cross at the end of calle real in molinaseca. the article said that beneath the cross a monolith (possibly a menhir) was buried. this would probably be a unique definite reference of a cross replacing an earlier...

    How to get from El Acebo to Molinaseca

    ...along the Frances owing to a painful ankle. I’m planning to walk from El Rabanal and maybe stay in el acebo. Is this wise or is the descent to El Acebo too difficult? Can I get a taxi from El Acebo down to Molinaseca? I’d rather keep going than risk a slip! Thanks for any advice you can...
