モリーナセカのおすすめウォーキング＆ハイキングルート

Oldest forge and still working

The uniquely beautiful plateau up to Foncebadon makes the strenuous climb worthwhile!

It's a great vantage point to pause and enjoy the view after the descent. A small picnic is a must, whether you stay in El Acebo or continue on to Ponferrada.

The Sanctuary of Our Lady of Angustias in Molinaseca is closely linked to the Camino de Santiago as it is one of the most important points on the route that links Astorga with Santo Tomás de las Ollas via the Foncebadón pass.

The "iron cross" here on Monte Irago, which is legendary for many pilgrims on the Camino Frances to Santiago de Compostela to the grave of the Apostle James the Greater, has since been replaced by a copy at the original location. The cross, which appears comparatively small due to its enormous height, is on the top of a very long tree trunk and protrudes from a constantly growing pile of stones. Many pilgrims take a stone with them on the Way of St. James and place it here. This stone symbolizes the burdens and hardships of the pilgrims (or their family members and friends at home), who symbolically cast off their worries at this point with the stone and can thus move on free of them.

Nice place and no mosquitoes

It makes you reflect and think
