Molinaseca est une destination de week-end populaire pour les ponferradinos, qui font le court trajet pour se baigner dans le río Maruelo endigué. Le bord de la rivière constitue un excellent endroit pour se baigner, se rafraîchir et se mêler aux autres.

Fiesta

Si vous êtes à Molinaseca le 17 août, mendiez, empruntez ou volez un seau et préparez-vous à la bataille d'eau dans toute la ville. La veille, on célèbre la San Roque et le lendemain, la Fiesta de las Angustias avec une procession plus traditionnelle à travers la ville.

La veille, on célèbre la San Roque.

The Road

Entre Molinaseca et Ponferrada, tu seras presque exclusivement sur le trottoir adjacent à la route. À trois kilomètres du centre de Molinaseca, le camino se divise. Le camino tourne techniquement à gauche à la courbe de la route et passe par Campo en direction de Ponferrada. En tournant à droite pour suivre la route, vous arriverez à Ponferrada de la même façon et c'est un chemin plus court vers l'albergue municipal.

A big shout out to the boys from Crepe and Roll. It’s a kiosk in funky gardens up at the river end (you’ll hear the music). We’ve just had a delicious burger and crepe.

There is an American who lives here and opens the church everyday except monday at five o clock.

Unless you want to bypass Ponferrada completely, stay on the wide sidewalk on the main road. The Camino turns left outside of Ponferrada and goes thru Campos and then through some trash and graffiti ridden residential areas interspersed with weed choked vacant lots. The road has no shoulder and the traffic is fairly heavy. You completely bypass Ponferrada and have to backtrack into town if you want to go to a restaurant, use an ATM, see the castle or spend the night.

At the centro civico as you leave town

Took the suggestion and found this place to excellent. I felt like royalty. Highly recommend.

This town was adorable and the women at the pharmacy were so kind and helpful. It was well-stocked. Time your journey through here so you can take a swim and cool off in the afternoon. Even if you don’t plan to stay the night, swimming here is a beautiful and fun experience. The water is chilly, but not unbearable. It is so refreshing. Hike for moments like these. Take the time to enjoy it all. At the very least, take a seat on the edge and soak your feet. The cool water will help with swelling and aches.

There are no cash machines in Molinaseca!

The Albergues outside town is run by the worst Hospitalero on the Camino, not only did he make me go back to town to change a 50 euro note instead of waiting for more pilgrims and giving me change it was stinking hot in the hottest heatwave in 50 years and I couldn’t get a beer. He put Spanish people on the second floor with insulation and Europeans and Asians on the top floor with no insulation to toast. He refused to fill the bbq gas bottle so we could cook. And the sign says Albergue 200 metres and is about 2 km out of town. Pathetic

Señor Oso is a brand new Albergue right in the center of town, very clean and modern. Nice beds, washer/dryer, kind host. So glad we stopped in, they have only been open two days.

Camino de Sant…

A new Albergue opened in summer of 2019. Young hospitalero very nice, accommodating and knowledgeable with town. Hostel is modern and perfectly located in center of town. Host gave recommendations for dinner options, and hostels for the next couple of towns. He was very accurate with his recommendations. Don’t make the mistake of passing this place if you decide to stay in this beautiful little town after a hard decent from Cruz De Ferro!
