Yep, apart from my mate who I stayed with at the albergues in Betanzos and Bruma the rest I was on my own. However, the Pontedume albergues was difficult to get into, as I had to wait, but luckily the workers next door had a key to let me in, it isn't worth the stay there though. Depends if...
No, it was cold early morning ranging between -1 and 1 to 2 degrees I'd say, but no snow. I'd say on the Ingles that's unlikely, not unheard of though. You'll most likely get snow in Galicia if your in or around Ourense. When I did mind this year I never used a jacket until the last day when...
I did the CI this year in February (18) and enjoyed it. I didn't use the Buen Camino app as it wasn't released then. However, I do use this app as a reference on most routes and recommend it. I followed the new route and stopped at the only bar when you join the main road and come off again...
Hi, I completed the Ingles in February 18 in a comfortable 4 days. I had planned to do it over 5 days but due to a Champion snorer from Italy in the albergue's I decided to push on from Bruma to Santiago. I've read someone who completed it in 2 days but for me that's bonkers. I enjoy the...
That's how I travelled to Ferrol. During the winter the bus is every hour and Ruth's timings are about right. When I got to the bus station from the airport I just missed the bus to Ferrol and had to wait the hour. It's not a problem the station has Wi-Fi and a cafeteria. Trains are also...
l completed my Camino Ingles from the 21st to 24th Feb 18. l travelled to Santiago de Compostela airport, then took the bus from the airport to the bus station, then caught a bus to Ferrol. It arrived late that evening but enabled me to start the Camino the following day. Travelling to A...
Yeah, your right, they're all nice and I had a laugh with them about the "snoring" Italian I shared the Albergue with that day. In fact we almost conspired to delay his meal that evening so I had a fighting chance to get back to the Albergue and get to sleep first! We didn't in the end!!

The owner of the restaurant\bar at Bruma is a Galician women who spent, I believe 42 years in Switzerland, which is where here German influences come from. She's a very pleasant lady and to my knowledge can speak at least 4 languages.
I've just completed the Ingles (started at Ferrol), Muxia and Finisterre route, beginning on the 21st Feb 18. I was on my own walking at this time of the year and stayed in the Municipal Albergue's. I completed the Ingles in 4 days and the rest in 4 as well. I had planned 5 days on the Ingles...
