    Looking for information on the Camino Ingles

    I just did the English Way at the end of September. I'm not sure about where to get the credentials in Ferrol but I always get mine from the "American Pilgrims org" in the mail before I travel to a Camino and its free. (Free... they ask for contributions, not a requirement... trice before I...

    Are Multiple compostelas possible for the same walk?

    After arriving Santiago yesterday and receiving my third compostela. (Norte, Portuguese and now English starting at Ribadeo getting credit for the Del Mar) I asked this question to the pilgrims office. It was confusing to them. The answer they gave was no. I could only get the compostela for one...

    Are Multiple compostelas possible for the same walk?

    I'm here and still have two weeks left after I finish the English Way tomorrow. Does anyone know if you can start the Primitive (at Lugo) following it to where it joins the Frances, then bus back to Sarria on the Francés and walking back to the where the Primitive joins the CF and finish up...

    What was left unused? What can be left behind?

    If you have camping items. I doubt you'll be able to get under 8kg. I could probably get by with one convertible pant and gym shorts, two of everything else, socks, underwear and shirts. Currently I'm carrying gym shorts (nice to sleep in), shorts, convertible pants and three of everything...

    No trekking poles in Porto

    I walked the Coastal in April. I was just fine without sticks. I don't feel you need them. I was glad to not have to carry them. 2 years ago on the Norte, I was glad to have them.

    Day 8, (2 of the English way) The day started off misty and after several k. I put on a pack cover and rain slicker. Up and down a few small hills. After about 3.5 hours I arrived in Pontedeume. It was shortly before 1130 at which time the tourist office opened and I registered and got the key...

    Day 7. Start of the English Way. Train ride to Xubia, near Ferrol. Where my hotel was. The hotel had messaged me they the room was ready and a code for the door. This allowed me to get early, at 1430 and drop my bag. I then walked the 12 k to the docks at Ferrol and then train back to the hotel...

    DAY 6. The best day so far. Great views. The day started with me going to catch the train to Espasante which turned into a bus for whatever reason. Luckily for me to verify that I was supposed to get on the bus. I saw the same two workers from my hotel getting out of the bus. They were on the...

    Actually, my room is at Porto O Barquiero, not O Vicedo like I had Posted. DAY 5: I came up with a plan last night and it worked out. I arranged with the hotel for me to drop my bag off early in the morning. I caught the 8 o'clock train in Viveiro and took it to O Barquiero. I walked back to...

    DAY 4, I stayed at the Hotel O Castelo. I had an OJ and Croissant for breakfast so probably lacking for the energy I would need. The stage started downhill for me. After about 3 miles, I arrived at the coast and did mostly up (around 300 feet) and a little down and back up several times over 2...

    Thanks, today was very challenging and it only gets worse from here. I was just looking at the route. I think I'll stick to the coast. Today's 100m up and downs was bad enough. I don't think I could deal 300-400 meter climbs.

    DAY 3 was today. The day started with being woke up by the church bells in Foz. It's a good thing since it was after 9. I stayed on the coast the entire day vs going up into the hills above on the alternative route at Burela. I wasn't interested in climbing up 200 meters. Igrexa de Nois was...

    DAY 2 was yesterday. I took the bus back and started at Praia de las Catedrales an continued to Foz. The day started off very chilly but it was nice after a short time. It was a pretty walk along the coast. You get to a point across the water from Foz and think you don't have far but it ends up...

    Thank you. Yes, I did read your blog a few days before leaving and made some notes. I downloaded the trails. I didn't want to pay for the wiki app but my samsung health does open the maps but when I try to reopen the downloads, I'm having issues. After checking into my albergue in Ribadeo...
