    Backpack Transport on On Camino Inglés

    Correos is great and very reliable and the one time they messed up my delivery, they apologized profusely, didn't charge me that day, and it all ended up just fine. They do not go to Muxia, but there are others that do. I found it a lot cheaper than shipping stuff back home. I wouldn't...

    Shortcut,day one on the Ingles.

    The morning past the dinosaur area was quite pleasant. (I just uploaded a photo I took, but don't know where it went!). You will find Carolina, a UK expat, who speaks perfect English at Cafe bar O Croceiro in Pontevedra, I enjoyed a nice quaint lunch there. Anyway, in the afternoon, just...

    Shortcut,day one on the Ingles.

    Yes, as far as I know you aren't "required" to walk through Neda, and from what I read, the walk is largely industrial and you aren't missing much by bypassing it. And yes, either way, the Camino passes through Fene. As long as you walk the whole way from Ferrol and get your stamps along the...

    Shortcut,day one on the Ingles.

    I wore a GPS watch on the whole time that I walked...except for a few longer days when the battery died before the end of the day. Walking from Ferrol to Pontedeume via Fene was a little over 19km (you can verify this using Google maps for walking distances if you like), while...

    Tips please for a Novice doing the Camino Ingles on Friday 28th August.

    The Wise Pilgrim Guides apps were invaluable to me--they are supposedly based on the officla tourist info provided by the tourist offices. They showing the route, described in detail, show distances, explain routes, know what services are avaialbe along the way, an even sleeping accommodations...

    Santiago to Ferrol

    I flew from Philly to Madrid to SdC in May. You'll need to take bus from the airport to the main bus station in Santiago, but from there you can catch a bus to Ferrol very easily. It was about 12 euro and was about a 90 minute ride, if I recall correctly.

    Last-minute....challenges??

    I got my Pilgrim credential at the Concathredal San Julian in Ferrol. 1,5 euro. I think it's open until 20:00.

    Tips please for a Novice doing the Camino Ingles on Friday 28th August.

    I never once had a problem with my phone or Internet signal...not sure where you are from, but if you are form the US, highly recommend getting a month of international data/calling plan before you go. Many place where I stayed (mostly B&B's, case rurals, and a few hotels) mostly had Internet...

    Tips please for a Novice doing the Camino Ingles on Friday 28th August.

    My English to Spanish apps on my phone were invaluable to me in communicating and (re)learning the language (not practiced much since my high school days), even though sometimes the Galego didn't translate well. I also second stopping at Cafe Bar Navedo for lunch or just an iced tea (té con...

    Shortcut,day one on the Ingles.

    I walked from Ferrol to Fene across that bridge--not intentionally, but I didn't see the way markers--and I still earned my compostela. I think I had read it was was shorter option in an older guide book so I wouldn't worry about it. It takes a few km off the total but not that much.

    Significant change to the Camino Ingles is coming

    PS-I walked the Ingles route in May and wanted to advise you of two things I noted....there is a planned/proposed new albergue in Fene. I didn't take pics, but there was a building on one of the main streets with a sign and a diagram of the planned development project. I also found the way...

    It was only 5 euro. Well worth it.

    Significant change to the Camino Ingles is coming

    I walked the Camino Ingles in May 2015. I unexpectedly used the Correos service to forward a duffle bag, which I stuffed to the max after several days of suffering with a too heavy pack...it was 5 euro a day. They were highly reliable and the one day where they screwed up, they fixed it...

    I stopped and had a delightful lunch there as well. They will take your photo and post it on their Facebook page :-)

    Independent (first time) peregrinos - baggage transfers?

    Hi, I packed too much on my trip last month, and thankfully discovered the Correos service--called Mi Mochila. They transported my duffel bag (so my backpack was very light for walking) for 5 euro each day, from Sigueiro to Santiago and then from Santiago to Fisterra. They do not go to Muxia...
