Molinaseca is one of the most typical villages of the Camino de Santiago, 6 km from the city of Ponferrada, located in the region of El Bierzo.

It is also a great place to spend a few days or a vacation, as it has many services, stores, tourist office, pharmacy, tennis courts, soccer, basketball, and a great river swimming pool in the same area of the Roman bridge. Famous are its wineries, and there is also a wide variety of restaurants and places to stay overnight (hotels, rural houses and hostels).
