I have seen a couple of different threads with comments like, "I didn't enjoy the walk entering Vigo," or "be careful entering and leaving Vigo."
Is this a safety issue (traffic, or otherwise) or a waymarking issue (difficult to find), or what? Is there something that needs to be explained...
I've read varying reports, some older, some more recent. I suspect this route has been evolving, as do they all.
Can anyone give me a current description of the walking surfaces, conditions, or just general advice before undertaking this route? I suspect we will embark on a 10-11 day...

We will be in Madrid a couple days, then take the Trenhotel overnight to Ferrol. Go to the Tourist office for a stamp, and head out from the port to Neda for the night...
We will arrive in Madrid on a Saturday, and plan on staying for a couple of days. It is our plan to start our Camino on Tuesday. What is the best site to check for train options from Madrid to Ferrol? Or, maybe a better question is: Can someone more experienced than this first-timer show me...
My wife and I are contemplating the Camino Ingles in June. We have always wanted to visit Spain, and a couple of years ago, upon learning more about the Camino, we have decided to give it a go. We are hopeful the Ingles will provide a "toe dip" in the water, to test our resolve...hopefully...
