I did Nuala. ..be prepared for longer distances and carry water. There are not many fountains and some are dry. Budget for accommodation not in albergues...always good to have a choice. The Xuntas are different.
Bring good raincover. Loved my Altus Poncho. Walk with a stick...it helps on the multiple of inclines and some declines that can be slippery when wet. Bring a light source to help in the fog.
Always have a reservation for Santiago...l am amazed how booked up it is.

Buen Camino

Thank you Ingrid, it's really helpful to get such current advice about the potential issues. I haven't yet finalised my plans, but it looks as though I might be there in a couple of weeks' time (it's an easy jaunt from Ireland). It sounds as though I will need a poncho.

Were there many other pilgrims walking the Ingles while you were there?

Good luck with the next stages of your Camino. I wholeheartedly recommend Albergue do Mar in Fisterra, especially if you want a private room. Big rooms, spotlessly clean, with views of the beach.

Thanks for the hint for Fisterra. .it seems to be the choice to stay for many.

The C. Ingles has gradually become more popular. It is a great choice for a shorter Camino with the required 100+km for a compostela without joining the French way.

There were times l walked with others.,usually in the morning...but I walked slower than most so l did about 80% by myself.
I did not experience the usual bed race, there was always room at the albergue. I can imagine that probably at times it could be tricky, depending on the season.

Thank you Ingrid, I really appreciate your advice. I am looking forward to a quieter Camino this time, hence the appeal of the Ingles.
My plan is to walk from A Coruna to Muxia. I know that the route from A Coruna doesn't qualify for a compostela, but this isn't an issue for me. I have limited time and I want to do about 6 days of 'sea to sea' solo walking,
