    Ferrol - Worth a Look?

    I definitely agree that A Coruña is nicer, with a castle, the Tower of Hercules and gorgeous beaches. I have flown into A Coruña from Madrid, spent time there, then taken a bus or train to Ferrol for the full 100 km (if you want a Compostela.) In fact, I have done both routes, from Ferrol and A...

    LIVE from the Camino Back on the trail from A Coruna

    Buen Camino @ficklefancyfree! I am assuming your next stop is Bruma? Don't forget to stop at the Café Bar Casa Avelina in As Trevasas, and see the little San Roque church. It is supported by pilgrims. Avelina, the proprietress will give you the keys to see it if you ask. And she will ask you for...

    For those of you in Ireland wishing to do the shorter route on the Inglés, from A Coruña, this is an interesting happening! https://m.independent.ie/regionals/wicklow/bray-news/camino-waymarker-unveiled-in-bray-for-the-celtic-camino-coastal-route/a108560783.html

    Ferrol Xunta albergue to open in July

    Ha ha, I just found the building. It is just down the street from what Google maps gives you for the old Casa do Mar, but instead it is the old "Administración local del Instituto Social de la Marina" at 25 Estrada Alta in Ferrol. This building looks identical to the building in the photos...

    Lengthen Camino Ingles?

    There is the Pensión Mesón Paz, a few steps off-Camino, about one kilometer south of the center of Pontedeume, and the Hotel Montebreamo, even a little closer, if that helps you any! You could knock out that long climb up/out of Pontedeume, at least. You can look at my map here, too. Otherwise...

    Camino ingles

    @NancC, I think it is best to fly into La Coruña, then take either the train or the bus to Ferrol from there. Both stations land you in about the same place in Ferrol. Once in A Coruña the bus line to take to Ferrol is Arriva. These buses run almost every 1/2 hour in peak times, so you are...

    Preparing for My First Camino Ingles: Seeking Tips and Advice

    Your plan sounds just fine! I would add to make sure to stop at the Bar Avelina in As Trevasas, where the two routes meet, just before Hospital de Bruma. Avelina takes care of pilgrims and she will show you their pilgrim-supported little church, Capela de San Roque. It may be one of your best...

    Inglés: Coruña or Ferrol? No compostela needed

    Yes, the city walk is a bit confusing, for sure, and from what I understand it is better marked than before. You may want to download my GPS tracks, it will help you if you do decide to start at the Santiago Church and do the entire way through the city. I never really mind walking through the...

    Inglés: Coruña or Ferrol? No compostela needed

    Hello @design4life, you will love this walk on the Camino Inglés from A Coruña. The first stage to Sergude is just under 20 km, but it is strenuous and steep. You could divide this stage by stopping in Culleredo after 12 km at the one restaurant/accommodation called La Explanada/Pensión La Paz...

    Camino Ingles in august

    If the Presedo albergue (14 beds), which is the only accommodation there, is full, you can call for any accommodation nearby to come and pick you up! There should be information on the counter, regarding hotels, but the hospitilero should also be able to help. Especially, look into the onward...

    Camino ingles

    Miño and the beach! There is a municipal albergue there, but it is still closed. Almost no one stops here because it is in the middle of a stage. The municipal albergue in Betanzos is pretty nice too. If you do not stop in Presedo, where the albergue is only barely OK, you MUST stop in Presedo...

    Starting in A Coruña vs Ferrol?

    I agree to do both! I took the bus back to A Coruña myself. I loved the Torre, the beaches, the galerias and one that no one mentioned, the Castillo de San Anton. All very interesting places! Click this link to see my photos of this amazing place...
