    Neda or Pontdeume?

    The bridge shortcut sounds like the perfect option for you. Shortens your first day after a late start, but still gives you 100+ KM to Santiago.

    Luggage storage Santiago & Betanzos restuarants

    The restaurant at Hostal Portico is very good. And there was another restaurant directly across the street that was also good.

    Camino Ingles at the end of March

    Yes, in March I had a full 2 1/2+ days of rainy weather. Not any heavy rain, just more of a steady light rain starting on day 2. It was still very enjoyable. When are you going?

    Accommodation and food on camino Inglés

    These are the private rooms I stayed at in March. Ferrol at Hotel Almendra. It was a nice clean room, but I had one issue with the hotel. I was basically locked in. After returning from dinner, I rang the bell and waited to be let in by an employee unlocking the front door from the inside with...

    Accommodation and food on camino Inglés

    Do you plan on Albergues or private rooms? I booked ahead for private rooms at hotels and pensions in March, but there was no need. I'm sure it will be busier in September. One restaurant I really enjoyed was Restaurant Cortes in Sigueiro. It was recommended by my hotel and it was excellent.

    What alternatives to Correos for baggage transfer on the Inglés?

    Not a hidden gem, but I stayed at Hotel Canaima. They picked me up from Casa Avelina after I had lunch. Clean room with a restaurant and bar downstairs. I did have to walk back (30 min) to Casa Avelina in the morning to pick up where I left off. There is also an option to join back on the...

    LIVE from the Camino On the Camino Inglés, April 2023

    What a difference a few weeks make. I started on March 15th and there was a total of 6 of us walking each day. I stayed in private rooms along the way and didn't see any other people in my hotel / pensions.

    Weather on the Camino Inglés?

    2 weeks ago my weather app predicted rain everyday in the late afternoon, but it came early morning each day. But I didn't encounter much mud on the Ingles.

    Getting From A Coruna (LCG) airport to Ferrol - Taxi VS Bus/Train

    You said that you arrive around noon. I just checked my train itinerary from a couple of weeks ago and the train left A Coruna at 12:02pm. Takes 1 hour and 10 min to get to Ferrol.

    Camino Ingles

    The hills leaving the towns of Pontedeume & Betanzos are fairly steep, but not very long. They really get the heart and lungs pumping first thing in the morning, but they are very doable.

    Camino Ingles at the end of March

    Nice plan. My 5h day was a short one from Sigueiro, so I arrived in Santiago pretty early. I'm going to write up a detailed recap of my Camino in the coming days. The hills to get out of Pontedeume and Betanzos really get the heart and lungs kicking to start off those mornings. Also the...

    Camino Ingles at the end of March

    I just finished the Ingles. There was a total of 6 pilgrims that I saw each day. I was the only native English speaker, but communication wasn't difficult. Everything seemed to be open. It was a great Camino, but I would not say it was very social. Only because of the small number of...

    Anyone walking the Ingles end of May/ early June?

    Nice, thanks, I made a reservation at Canaima. Do they pick you up on the Camino, or did you walk the extra KM?

    Anyone walking the Ingles end of May/ early June?

    I'm looking forward to hearing about everyone's experiences. I'm especially interested in lodging options for Bruma. Last time I stayed at one of the Casa Rurals in the area, but looking for something different this time.
