Fifteenth section · Camino Francés, Astorga to Ponferrada

The Maragatería climbs toward Gregorian prayer in Rabanal. The Cruz de Ferro invites you to surrender a symbolic burden. Beyond Mount Irago, the sanctuaries of Molinaseca and the Encina welcome gratitude.

Stored walking track via Rabanal, Foncebadón, Cruz de Ferro, El Acebo, Riego de Ambrós and Molinaseca. Exposed climb; snow, wind or fog possible. The El Acebo–Molinaseca descent is demanding, especially with mobility limitations; the road is not a certified safe alternative. Check weather, waymarks and local access; drinking water not guaranteed. No verified elevation profile or GPS deviation alert. Manjarín is not suggested overnight without confirmed hospitality.
