Agreed, no ferry. We did not find any ferry service last September when we planned our walk and also flew into A Coruna. The busses are frequent. There is also rail service, but the busses go more often and may be cheaper. Once in Ferrol, you can walk from the bus station to the harbor for...
We used, from Chicago, the London Heathrow-A Coruna/A Coruna-London Heathrow route in September and it worked very well. There is an airport bus that takes you from the A Coruna airport to the bus terminal. As it is an evening arrival, you would probably want to stay at a hotel in A Coruna and...
Thanks. I have recovered except for some swelling that only I and my family notice. No trouble at all with vision which is the important thing. Do enjoy your camino.

My son and I enjoyed A Coruna last month at the start and rather abrupt-end of our camino from Ferrol. I will follow your blog to make up for what we missed.

Congratulations! Yes, those hills are higher than expected. As we were landing in A Coruna, my son commented on how high they were. Of course, anything looks high to those of us from the flat Midwestern US. If others from the US are planning their camino and want a sense of comparison, think...
Our Camino was completed—just in a different way than usual. As planned, my son and I set off from the harbor steps of Ferrol on September 12, between a group of eight pilgrims and a couple. At the end of the day as we were intently looking for signs to the Hotel Kensington, I stumbled when...
We are walking from Ferrol and hope to arrive on Sunday, the 18th or, if we need a rest day, on Monday, the 19th. We definitely will ask if you are in.

My son and I will leave the States on Wednesday and begin our walk on Monday, September 12. Thanks to all who posted information about accommodations and updates or comments about the route. If we make it, perhaps it will be Johnnie who reviews our credencials. Now back to the task of...
Congratulations on completing your camino. Thanks very much for posting the information about the route and accommodations. That will be useful for our upcoming camino in mid-September.
Buen Camino,
Have just purchased plane tickets for a September walk. Look forward to hearing your reports. Hope your camino is as good as your last one.

Congratulations to Jill and Buen Camino to Daesdaemar. Have just booked airplane tickets for September, so all your comments help with planning for our walk. Tia's reports have been so thorough. Thanks so much.

Greg:
My son and I will be in York after September 10 to drop off his clothes, books etc. for the year before we set off for our walk. Can't see carrying that on the Camino. If you would consider getting together then, we would appreciate hearing your stories. After our camino, I will not...
Tia and Greg:
I am fascinated by the York connection that may be developing. As I mentioned in another post--probably another thread--my son and I will do the CI in September, our first. We are doing so because he has been accepted at the Univ of York and will start a Master's degree program...
Mel--My son and I will be walking the Camino Ingles around mid September, a first camino for both of us. Perhaps we will see you.
Nell and Brenda--Please do post give us a summary of your trip. I, too, want to break the walk down into more days. I had already thought of two days at Meson do...
