Many would say, that this section is the hardest on the Camino Frances. I think I would have to agree. Take care....... What are hard sections that you experienced or are worried about?
Hi Rob. We did this section very recently. Out of all the Frances we have done ( exclude meseta ) this is the worst bit we have found. In rain it would be dangerous. A Spanish friend of ours slipped and broke her ankle on it a couple of years ago. Malinaseca is a very welcome sight after going down that track. Cheers mick
@@robscamino just didn’t have time. We did it all a bit backwards. First we took two sons and did sarria to Santiago next year we did st Jean to Burgos. Then we were going to fill the gap including the meseta but Covid stopped it. This year only having a couple of weeks a Spanish friend suggested to skip the meseta considering our time restraint
Very atmospheric. I like these sort of videos, feel like I'm there. I've been meaning to walk the Camino for many, many years, since I first set foot in Burgos. I doubt I ever will but I've read enough books about it and now watch videos. Those people who perhaps gain most are those rushy-rushy types (not you!) who don't normally take the time, like you did, to quietly watch a particular cloud go past a mountain. It slows down the average, modern human. That's always going to be a good thing.
@@robscamino feels like forever when physical pain kicks in but then somehow, equally, the weeks fly by! I know what you mean. Camino sounds very much like childbirth. You forget how gruelling it was and soon want another child. I'm looking forward to your videos from your next Camino but thinking some of it will be a much more arid and flat landscape than the rain soaked green hills of the North. (?)
Hi Rob, what a memorable days walk. Walked from Foncebadon in early hours to get to Cruz de Ferro for dawn, a good climb, and the surprise is more climbing as you drop to El Acebo! But the drop down into Molinaseca was tough in the rain, looking with envy at a couple who had chosen the road, but the scenery is fabulous. A delight to see the window of the room I stayed in at Molinaseca overlooking the ‘beach’ and river. I agree one of the toughest days, offset by the beauty around you.
It's a great day isn't it? I stay in Foncebadon too, to get an early pre dawn start up to the Cruz de Fero. This time (in the video) we made it 2 very short days by staying in El Acebo. 3 times so far over that section and again next year God Willing 🙂
Brings it all back to me Rob, we walked from Rabinal to Molinaseca my legs were like jelly, in my opinion it is the toughest section on the camino Frances, my knees still bare the scars 😁
Yes, I was the same. The first time I did Foncebadon to Molineseca. I found that tough. The hike up from Rabanal is steep too. So with Pat we broke the journey in El Acebo. That made it really nice......

What a nice interlude to film! But I guess in person a challenge.
Just needs a bit of care below El Acebo, but a wonderful section to walk.
The countryside is so beautiful.
It sure is......... Can't wait to get back there soon.

It's certainly a tough section and needs care. Excluding the Meseta? You didn't like the Meseta? 🙄

@@fishnmick9570 Ah. OK. Maybe another time then? 🙂
Really brings my memories of this particular part of the Camino Frances to the forefront once again.
I love the scenery walking through these mountains!
As you have said Rob, the secret is to take your time, set your own pace, the little breaks help a lot too.
Cheers
We go very slow..........with lots of breaks. 🙂
You decided not to walk this Camino alone? I thought this one was going to be solo.
@Janet Gorman These clips are from my last one with Pat, in 2018. Next one in 2023 is alone 🙂 (which might be more than one if I can fit them in)

I'm all for watching clouds, lying under a tree, watch the cows, hugging trees.... Slow Caminos for me. They can all be over so quickly. 🙁

@@azby7933 I think child birth is probably not a bad analogy. Not that I would know of course! 🙂

It means "The fall"
Pronounced el AKebo..
(Spelled El Acebo).
Emphasis on the penultimate (second last) syllable as in the AK here.

Ahh. Got it. Thanks
