PEÑALBA DE SANTIAGO ESTA EN PELIGRO
El pasado viernes 13 de julio tras una tormenta, se derrumbo parte de la única carretera que llega a Peñalba de Santiago (Ponferrada, León). Es un tramo donde ya, el año pasado, sucedió lo mismo. Se ejecutó una obra, mas bien un parche. Que no ha servido para nada, con un coste estimado de 400.000€.
El mismo día 13 en vez de abrir de nuevo el tramo, mandaron limpiar un camino agrícola, donde tan solo pueden circular coches todo terreno y no hay firme para cruzarse dos vehículos. Para mas inri, en ningún tramo ni al principio durante o final de dicho camino, existe una señal de peligro o prohibición para que sólo circulen todo terreno ya que en el 80% del trazado discurre a través de pendientes de hasta el 13% de inclinación, lo cual que dificulta el tránsito y obliga a circular en la primera marcha del coche. Si se circula cuesta abajo es imprescindible mantener accionado el el freno durante prácticamente todo el trayecto para no despeñarse…
A día de hoy, día 25 de Julio, la carretera sigue cortada, el camino abierto al tráfico y sin sin señalizar su peligro, poniendo en riesgo a cualquiera que quiera, ya sean visitantes o residentes de Peñalba de Santiago.

Ponferrada is the capital city of El Bierzo in the Province of León, Spain. Ponferrada lies on Sil River and it is completely surrounded by mountains. Ponferrada is the last major town on the French route of the Camino de Santiago before it reaches Santiago de Compostela.
Ponferrada lies in the Way of St. James, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and every year many pilgrims pass through the city in their way to Santiago de Compostela. Las Médulas, ancient Roman gold mines also included in the UNESCO World Heritage Site List, are only a few kilometres away from the city.
Ponferrada is also noted for its Castillo de los Templarios, a Templar castle which covers approximately 16,000 square meters. In 1178, Ferdinand II of León donated the city to the Templar order for protecting the pilgrims on the Way of St. James who passed through El Bierzo in their road to Santiago de Compostela.
The castle hosted the Knights Templar's Grand Master of Castille. However, the Templars were only able to enjoy the use of their fortress for about twenty years before the order was disbanded and its properties confiscated in 1311. Several noble houses fought over the assets until Alfonso XI allotted them to the Count of Lemos in 1340. Finally the Catholic Monarchs incorporated Ponferrada and its castle into the Crown in 1486. As with many other historical sites in Europe, many of the blocks that at one point formed the walls of the castle were removed and used in local construction projects. Extensive restoration works are ongoing. The Basilica de la Encina is a church built in the Renaissance style in 1573. Its baroque tower dates from 1614.
The El Bierzo Museum (Museo de El Bierzo) offers a tour of the history of the region and hosts several important archeological pieces, while the Museum of Radio ( Museo de la Radio) offers an interesting tour of the history of the radio in Spain. The National Energy Museum ( Museo Nacional de la Energía) is currently under construction, sponsored by the Energy City Foundation ( Fundación Ciudad de la Energía). It will include the restored building and equipment of Compostilla I, Spain's first coal-fueled power plant opened in 1949 in Ponferrada. The church of Santiago de Peñalba , the Hermitage of Santo Tomás de las Ollas (10th century) and the Romanesque Church of Santa María de Vizbayo are also nearby.
Ponferrada and its surroundings offer many opportunities for outdoor activities. There are many easily accessible hiking and cycling routes nearby, both on and off-road, including the 330 kilometer long La Mirada Circular which circles the whole El Bierzo valley. El Morredero peak (2135 m), 20 km from Ponferrada in the Aquilianos mountains, hosts a small ski resort.
Ponferrada is easily accessible by highway (Autovía A-6) and intercity public transportation is readily available, as several daily ALSA bus services and RENFE passenger trains link the city with major population centers in Spain and the rest of Europe. León Airport is the closest, while airports in Santiago, A Coruña, Asturias, Valladolid and Madrid Barajas provide alternative options for national and international air travel.
( Ponferrada - Spain ) is well know as a tourist destination because of the variety of places you can enjoy while you are visiting the city of Ponferrada . Through a series of videos we will try to show you recommended places to visit in Ponferrada - Spain

Alto de la Cruz en Peñalba de Santiago
Alto de la Cruz en Peñalba de Santiago
Recientemente se acondicionó y asfaltó el acceso desde Peñalba de Santiago a la carretera LE-5228 que lleva por un lado a San Cristóbal de Valdueza y a Ponferrada y por el otro a la vecina comarca de la Cabrera pasando por el Morredero, Portillinos y el Llano de las ovejas. Este nuevo tramo tiene una longitud de casi 3 km y serpenteando por la ladera de la montaña salva un desnivel de 370 m con un 12,4% de pendiente media. Al inicio del vídeo se puede ver la ruta y un análisis pormenorizado de las pendientes superiores al 10%.
Tenía ganas de recorrer en bici este tramo antes de que llegase el crudo invierno por lo que salí de Ponferrada en la mañana del domingo y tras unos 21 km estaba en Peñalba. Una breve visita a este bellísimo pueblo y comencé la subida al Alto de la Cruz. Comienza en el triángulo 12 (los once anteriores son repechos mayores del 10% desde Ponferrada a Peñalba) y termina en el cruce con la carretera LE-5228 tras superar el último repecho al 15% (triángulo 21).
El objetivo era subir sin despegar el culo del sillín, vamos, sin ponerse nunca de pie, llevando un ritmo mantenido y prudente por la falta de referencias y lógicamente sin echar pie a tierra. El resultado fue positivo, las piernas rindieron muy bien y no me costó gran esfuerzo (máx 161 ppm) mantener una cadencia cómoda y eficaz teniendo además en cuenta que llevaban encima la subida previa a Peñalba. Conocidas de primera mano las características del tramo queda pendiente volver otro día con intención de subir ya con un ritmo más alegre dentro de las limitaciones que me impone el material, la preparación, la edad y el sentido común.
