Hola - you didn’t mention if your preference is draft or bottled beer - una cerveza will, I think, cover both generically but if it’s really a draft foaming ale you want it’s una caña (small) or una jarra (pro. Harra) for a large one.
Hopefully this’ll help you get exactly what you want! The...
The tourist office isn’t the only source of Credencials in Ferrol - we went to the Concathedral in the centre for ours -the office is open when there is a Mass.
Otherwise you can get by mail order from Ivar or various other places.
Buen Camino
Hi Marska,
That’s correct - for the Castro Dozon night we actually stayed at Casa Casarellos nearby (they do a pick up & drop off service)
We started our walk in Ourense
Hope this helps
Buen Camino!

The Post Office & Ivar's office really aren't that far apart from each other.
I'm sure he could arrange to have them collected & taken to his storage facility if you asked nicely.
The Post Office can hold & store luggage aswell though, you know.
Having read all the responses you've received to this post, might I suggest you try your coffee black?
I did this a few years ago and have never looked back!
Hi - my wife and I are planning to walk this stage in early October. We are flying in & out of Santander but transferring to Logrono & returning from Burgos are proving to be difficult by bus or train in terms of availability and timings.
That leaves renting a car (but it’ll need to be 2 one...
We've used Correos (the Spanish Post Office) a few times when walking with my elderly father.
Been excellent each time ie efficient, professional, flexible, and modestly priced.
Arrangements can also be changed at quite short notice, if required...
I can't really imagine a Camino without one of his guides with me.
He set the Gold standard for others to follow & painstakingly, and lovingly, kept them
all up to date with such a great eye for detail.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you, John.
Hi there - I walked the Sanabres from Ourense in 2018 and can highly recommend.
Lovely walking through beautiful countryside and not too much asphalt.
To suit my Octogenarian father we did 6 circa 20k days with stops in Cea; Castro Dozon;
Lalin; Silleda; and Ponte Ulla - with a lovely approach...
Yes, I used Correos for Ferrol to SdC with my father in 2017 & they were excellent with no hitches or delays whatsoever. See - www.elcaminoconcorreos.com
Sorry but it's really not rocket science ie bottled water, beer, coffee, soft drinks, tortilla, Torta de Santiago, bocadillos of all varieties, not to mention fresh fruit such as oranges, apples, bananas (and/or chocolate bars if you want more of a cocoa/sugar hit!).
Much better variety and...
Hi there and yes I can highly recommend the Camino Ingles as a short, self contained Camino through interesting towns & villages and in beautiful countryside.
My wife and I walked it with my (87 yo!) father in 2017 starting in El Ferrol.
The Ingles has recently been recognised as an official...
That’s exactly what I was going to say.
I also suffer from pronation (right foot) but the problem has been much eased by medically assessed & fitted insoles thanks to my local NHS Podiatry department.
Shoe wise I have TNF hedgehogs, Merrill walking shoes & Salewa walking boots all of which are...
