I love your remark about buying cigarettes - yes, you do have to plan on where to buy cigarettes. Best bet is a vending machine in a bar. And plan ahead - have a few spare packs in your backpack.
Buen Camino to you - so far it has been very interesting.
May you have a wonderful time walking the Camino.
Pack as light as you can, bring a set of spare clothes, a poncho to protect you from the rain and the lightest sleeping bag or a liner. If you find that you need anything, you can buy it in Spain. Do not bring your worries or the "what if.."...
Camino Ingles from Ferrol. A good 5 day walk. Some parts will be a challenge. You will experience the "camino feeling" The walk, eat and sleep and then do it all over again. And great albergues in small towns.
Buen camino!

Nature showed itself at its best with flowering anemones and balmy evenings. Still too cold to swim in the sea
I went for a walk in the woods and stumbled across this giant troll amongst the trees. In 2016, the artist Thomas Dambo made the popular 6 giant trolls "Forgotten Giants" from recycled wood, and they can be seen in the woods west of Copenhagen. I have heard about the trolls but not seen them and...
Thank you for your description of your first day. Sorry the albergue in Neda was closed but The Kensington sounds like a nice deal! I do hope you will continue to share your Camino!
I remember walking across the bridge.
I flew into Biarritz, jumped on a bus at the airport and it let me off at the bridge and I walked across into Spain. And continued to the albergue in Irun. Now this was back in 2006, a long time ago.
