Molinaseca to Cacabelos Today was meant to be a manageable 22kms through Ponferrada to Cacabelos and I knew time was going to be an issue because I really wanted to go to the castle at Ponferrada and it didn’t open…

Acebo to Molinaseca Daylight savings finished last night which means its light that bit earlier but also darker earlier too, so less time in the afternoon to go exploring. Leaving El Acebo I had to tackle the rest of the…
