    Shell for backpack

    When I walked from Ferris in May 2019 there were maybe two souvenir shops selling overpriced (€5) shells. I'd heard on a podcast there was a self-service shell stand that operates on a donativo basis some kilometers outside of Ferrol. Sure enough, an hour or two outside town we came across a...

    a Coruna accommodations

    I stayed at Hostal Alboran in May 2019 and found it as Trecile said: in a great location and with a more modern look.

    English Way Luggage Transfer

    The Paq Mochila service by Correos (https://www.correos.es/ss/Satellite/site/producto-paqmochila-productos_az/detalle_de_producto-sidioma=en_GB) offers a great product at an affordable price.

    Dona maria

    Do stop at Bar Avelina. Avelina and her sister Mari Carmen are very happy to see pilgrims and their hospitality is so warm and caring.

    Walking the Ingles from Ferrol to Santiago via A Coruña?

    I walked the Ingles in May. I flew to A Coruna and enjoyed two days there as a tourist before catching the bus to Ferrol and starting our walk. If you'd like to walk from both places, the two paths meet up in Bruma. So you could walk from A Coruna-Bruma, then catch the bus or taxi to Ferrol and...

    Camino Ingles Question

    May 7-14 we counted 54 other unique pilgrims on the Ingles. Most of the time we saw no one else, except when starting in the morning and again in the evening. If you're at the Pension Maragoto on a Sunday, there's a Dia market in town not far away for getting a picnic. That's what we ended up...

    Municipal Albergue at Betanzos

    I was told in Ferrol at office on May 7 there are only 6 beds available during the renovations. She didn’t say when the work will be finished. I took that as an apportu ity to treat myself to a night at the Hotel Villa de Betanzos. When you start in Ferrol get your stamp at the office and a...

    Dona maria

    I walked the Inglés earlier this month and stopped for a coffee at the cafe across from Casa Rural Doña María. I then started kicking myself that I had canceled my reservation there and spent the night in O Meson do Vento the night before. Staying in Ordes would have been SO much better and...

    Churches on The Ingles

    I stopped in to see Avelina and her sister María Elena last week. They took me across the street to the lovely little chapel of San Roch, opened it up to see it, let me leave an offering, and insisted I ring the bell. I also enjoyed their incredible hospitality very much when I was greeted with...

    Taxi cost and time from ferrol to santiago

    So easy on the bus, at least one (or two) per hour. My bus was €8,10 last week via Betanzos. Was a little longer but got a sneak peek at the Betanzos-Ferrol section.

    I didn't walk the whole Camino Ingles....
