I'm so glad you chose the Ingles! I walked it with my husband in 2016 and we had plans to walk it with our 1 year old in 2020 (but alas, a pandemic). We hope to return next year! I'd love to know how you broke up the stages! If you're willing to share ☺️
Thank you everyone for the ideas! I'm going to reach out to a few of the hotels mentioned. I'm think we may need to bring a car seat with us (with a traveler case) and pay for the Correos to move it to each stage for us. Might be the safest and simplest way to take advantage of the hotel owners...
Thank you for your response! I am concerned that since we will not have a car seat, that a cab will not want to shuttle us. Of course, it is always best practice to use a car seat anyhow. Not sure if that will be an option for us.
So does anyone know if there is private accommodation anywhere in between Betanzos and Hospital de Bruma? We would be walking with our 1 year old so staying at the Preseo Alburgue is not really a good choice (although we stayed there in 2016 when we walked the Ingles without a baby and loved...
Hi Jane,
Regarding your original query, I would also highly suggest the Johnnie Walker guide so you have a better idea of the stages and accommodations. It is my understanding that you can get a Compestela from beginning in Coruna if you do the missed KMs in you hometown before you leave -...
Hi Jane!
Yes, you can stay at the alburgue in Presedo. I met some pilgrims who do the walk from Mino to Presedo. I, however, walked there from Betanzos.
Hi! I walked the Camino Inlges last summer and really enjoyed. I really loved the town of Mino, although most pass by it on day 2 or 3, I stayed the night and loved exploring the bay and beaches, but I am partial to small ocean towns. I also enjoyed the Meson Museo restaurant in Presedo (on the...
Hello! Last summer I did the 7 stages that Johnnie Walker described and enjoyed the afternoon into the evenings in each of the towns. We also used his guide. I brought a cell phone and used it to book ahead a few private accommodations. I did not need to call a hospiletero, but I am slow walker...
HI CAMINO FRIENDS!
Wanted to post (a rather late update) on my Camino in 2016. First off, the Ingles is a wonderful experience. My husband and I loved the Way so much, we are returning this year to walk for a week on the Frances!
As for the 'beds race' I asking about, it was very clear that...
My husband and I walked the Ingles last August over eight days and took the route listed below EXCEPT we added an extra day by going from Betanzos to Presedo (we loved that day too because there's now a wonderful restaurant that's family owned near the Presedo alburgue where we ate lunch and...
I walked the Camino Ingles (my first Camino too!) this past August. A lot of people we met were surprised that we chose this route as our first Camino, but I wouldn't have had it any other way. I agree with the hill out of Pontedueme being more challenging than the one after Casa Julia :) If...
Hi Marty,
Thank you so much for the input and letting me know about the alburgues this May. Glad you enjoyed your Camino so much!
Love and Light,
Camino Bear Emily
Hi Johnnie,
Thank you so much for your response and all your work! Bought your guide from CSJ and was so excited when I heard you had just made an update! We will just be flexible about staying in alternate accommodations listed in the guide.
Love and Light

Thank you, Stephen! I'm actually looking forward to running into a pilgrim or two throughout the day! Thank you for sharing about Finesterre as we are considering extending our walk there.
Love and Light,

Hello Lovely Camino Friends!
My husband and I booked our travel to walk the Camino Ingles beginning August 9th without knowing that Pope Francis made this year a Jubilee year (a Holy Year). Originally, I had no intentions of booking any rooms and planned on staying in alburgues along the way...
