Maybe the parking area where the tour busses pull up?
 
There is a road that goes right past, as the tour buses all use this to get up here. As already mentioned, there is a parking lot here for a taxi to wait.

If I understand your questio, you are looking to take the taxi FROM Cruz de Ferro.

I have edited my previous comment in deference to those with a better memory of the route. My last walk on that stage was 18 years ago.

Ideal sleeping bag liner whether we want to add a thermal plus to our bag, or if we want to use it alone to sleep in shelters or hostels. Thanks to its mummy shape, it adapts perfectly to our body.

I have reconstructed right knee (actually entire right leg and hip) from traumatic car accident, I found the downhill walk from Cruz de Ferro as nowhere close to the downhill from El Acebo de San Miguel to Riego de Ambros. That downhill from El Acebo killed my knees. If I have known about the horrific downhill before hand, I would taken a cab from Cruz de Ferro to at least Molinaseca. You can call +34 671 708 070 or +34 663 500 933 for taxi. Save your knees! See attached pdf for elevation profile.

All the way from Cruz de Ferro (except until Manjarin) is a very hard and rocky descent, like from Alto del Perdon. If you have any sort of knee/foot troubles, I would strongly recommend walking on the road. From Alto del Perdon it is short and easy to Uterga, and from Cruz de Ferro it is long and easy from Manjarin to Molinaseca.
 
Thanks for the replies. Want to save our knees a bit so you have given us options to consider. Much appreciated.

I booked a taxi the night before to pick me up at Cruz de Ferro. I'd recommend having the staff at your albergue/pensione call unless you speak perfect Spanish. My driver arrived earlier than requested and picked me up in the parking lot behind the cross.
