The Malpaso Bridges (EN)
In Molinaseca, on the edge of the Bierzo region and right on the Camino de Santiago, the Las Puentes de Malpaso route offers one of the most comprehensive hiking experiences: history, nature and spectacular views all in a single walk.
A route combining hiking, medieval heritage and unique landscapes in the Meruelo River valley.
The route runs along the hillside, with the Meruelo River always on the left, accompanying the walker with the sound of the water and the tranquillity of the natural surroundings.
One of the most iconic points along the route is the Bridges of Malpaso, two structures of medieval origin — the large one and the small one — which evoke the passage of ancient travellers and pilgrims through these lands.
