Is it possible to walk from A Coruña to Malpica?

Time of past OR future Camino
Podiensis, Portugues, Primitivo, 6 others
Some friends recently walked the Camino Dos Faros. They said it was tough at time, but an experience they will savor a long time. We are interested in walking this short route to Finisterre, but are wondering if we can start in A Coruña , walking from there to Malpica, where Dos Faros begins. If anyone has done this or knows whether it's possible, please advise.
 
Get a spanish phone number with Airalo. eSim, so no physical SIM card. Easy to use app to add more funds if needed.
It looks like there are trails and minor roads that you can follow. This is what the mapy.cz app shows:

It looks like it would be a two day walk.

I wonder if @Dave (Dave Whitson) has any experience with this area.
 
3rd Edition. More content, training & pack guides avoid common mistakes, bed bugs etc
@Anthony Rocco, like @trecile I've only looked at mapy.cz and google, but it certainly seems very do-able. Google shows several accommodation options around halfway (Caión for example, or better yet, the camping places/Appartments at Carbello) although I suspect some of those would be very season dependant. If you were going any time probably from now onwards, I imagine most of the eateries along the way would also be open, as with any seaside options some may be weekend only of course.
And A Coruna is a beautiful starting point.

If you do walk, would you be so kind as to let us know?
