Molinaseca se encuentra en un paraje rodeado de sotos de castaños centenarios, y con una frondosa naturaleza a su alrededor. Posee un bellísimo puente de piedra de origen medieval por el que acceden los peregrinos desde Foncebadón al pueblo, en su andar hacia Santiago de Compostela. Bajo este puente transcurre el río Meruelo; que en verano se convierte en piscina fluvial para el visitante. Entrando desde Riego de Ambrós veremos a la derecha el Santuario de Nuestra Señora de las Angustias, obra del S.XVII. Y sobre un montículo se encuentra la iglesia de San Nicolás de Bari, obra del S.XVII; de tres naves y monumental torre de cantería. Y a la salida del pueblo despide al peregrino y al visitante un Crucero de granito.

Las fiestas patronales son el 15 y 16 de agosto en honor a Nuestra Señora de Las Angustias y San Roque; y poniendo la guinda al pastel y final de fiesta el día 17, se celebra la famosa Fiesta del agua. Fiesta divertida y tradicional que consiste en la suelta del agua por la calle Real, y que todo el que quiera participar, solamente tienes que llevar un cubo de agua y mojar al resto.

Si lo que deseas además es conocer el Bierzo, incluso en bicicleta, nosotros os facilitamos la información de las rutas.
