[QUOTE="Peterexpatkiwi, post: 1214153, member: 107500"] Greetings and welcome to the forum! I'm afraid I can't answer your question about A Coruna, having flown in and out of Santiago myself. I think if you check the bus/train schedules to get to Ferrol that will give you your answer. Whilst the Inglés is definitely becoming more popular, there is really only one place I would book on the entire Camino, and that is Bruma. It's a real pinch point, with only 22 beds in the public Albergue and another 22 in the private ( which you can book). Yes there is also a hotel and a pension only one and a half km away, but to my certain knowledge on several occasions last year everything was completely full and people either had to walk an additional 10 kilometers or take a taxi. You do not necessarily need to book months in advance, and you can always stage around it - ie, not stop there. Especially with the amount of time you have. If you look for information on short stages for the Camino you will find two or three threads. There's an excellent post from [USER=54180]@Elle Bieling[/USER] . Another thing to check because it will most definitely impact the numbers on the trail is whether or not there are any public holidays at or about the time you are due to start. It is quite common for Spaniards to take a public holiday and create a long weekend out of it. Even when that holiday is on Wednesday! Whereupon many more are likely to walk the Camino. With 8 or 9 actual walking days, your biggest challenge is going to be what to do with yourself in your extra time. Most walk the Inglés in four - five days. Yes, there are suggestions in other threads on the forum. Ferrol is a very nice town, with quite a lot to see and do. For example the naval museum. So you could spend a day there. If you want to start slow you could simply walk to Neda on your first day. Make sure you take the Variant shortly before ( ie. go left, not directly over the bridge). In fact I would take every variant you can find, including the one out of Pontedeume. They are often either quieter or more scenic, frequently both! Plus, of course, it's easy to spend a couple of days exploring Santiago. If however you're fit and simply want to walk and not sightsee, you could consider walking straight through from Ferrol to Finisterre, although to get there and back in time for your flight would be a little tight... . Enjoy researching, and Buen Camino! [/QUOTE]
