    Ferrol to Pontedeume

    We did the Ingles last June and walked to Neda for the first stage. Then Neda to Pontedeume. I thought at the time, walking it in one stage would certainly have been doable. A few small slopes, that are longer than steep, but mostly level. We stopped at the beach just before entering...

    Sello in Ferrol?

    Just to add, we got our first sello at the Parador before embarking. Very convenient. Buen Camino!

    Our Camino Ingles - June 15-21

    I just called and spoke with them to make a reservation. Here is a website with the number (http://www.hostalluis.com/). It (along with a complete list of accommodations for each stop along the way) is also in Johnnie Walker's Guide, which I recommend you obtain.

    Our Camino Ingles - June 15-21

    As far as the downhills, my wife is also on the "I don't like downhills" bandwagon! But she had no issues. For whatever reason, the downs weren't an issue. Buen Camino.

    Our Camino Ingles - June 15-21

    After all the planning, reading and re-reading of posts here, and finally just letting go, we made our Camino. Here are some thoughts and reflections... Our itinerary: Ferrol-Naron; Naron-Pontedeume; Pontedeume-Betanzos; Betanzos-Bar Julia; Bar Julia-Meson O Vento; Meson O Vento-Sigueiro...

    Camino Ingles itinerary

    We just completed our first Camino last week - a short recap is coming, after I remove all of the items stacked on my desk while I was out! We did the itinerary you set out above (with the split between Betanzos - Bruma being at Bar Julia, staying at Meson O Novo, and having Antonio return us...

    Camino Ingles Round 2 - July 2015

    Fantastic tortilla in Betanzos! Almost want to walk back for another one, but no, we will keep moving forward.

    First camino - 12 days in August - your opinion please!

    We are currently on the route. Today Pontedeume to Betanzos. Wow. What a climb out of Pontedeume! I read all the comments, but feeling it in real life...we trained on hills, but not like that climb. A long, beautiful walk in the end. I will include a trip report after we are done. Thank you to...

    Maybe we will see you in Santiago! Buen Camino!

    Last minute questions from a first timer...

    @mig, I should have asked my question better. Is it a straght 16km, or are there things to do and see along this section of the Camino? Based on what I have read, it is pretty industrial, and so for planning purposes, it would seem that we would simply need the time for that length of...

    Last minute questions from a first timer...

    This forum has already been very helpful. But I have a few last minute questions: 1). We are planning on taking an overnight train from Madrid to Ferrol, arriving on a Monday morning. We are going to stay at the Kenningston that evening so we figure that we will have the day to spend in Ferrol...

    Buying walking pole at Ferrol Decathlon

    Thanks! We are thinking we will find what we need at the Koala store. We are counting down the days...only a little more than a month to go. Buen Camino.

    Buying walking pole at Ferrol Decathlon

    My wife and I were thinking of doing the same thing...that is avoiding checking the poles from the US, and getting poles in either Madrid when we land, or in Ferrol once we get of the night train on a Monday morning. I understand that Decathlon is a pretty big sporting goods store; I found a...

    Best way to get from Madrid to Ferrol? Train?

    Thank you. It seems that you can only reserve about one month in advance. Is this always the case? Will I need to wait until May for a June booking? Thanks in advance!

    Gradient of climb out of Betanzos?

    I got the joke. I just added the "let go" because my wife is telling me to stop trying to plan and account for everything, and we thought your response was the best one! Buen Camino!

    Gradient of climb out of Betanzos?

    Thank you. When I showed my wife your post she sent me a simple message: Let go. Let Camino. We are so looking forward to June. And to the bars at the top of the climbs!

    Thoughts on this plan...and a couple more questions

    Thanks, Balian. We are going back and forth between the new albergue in Sigueiro, or the Albergue de Delia, which many have commented on. If anyone has recent experience with Delia, please chime in. We have booked Bar Luis and Meson Novo, so thanks to everyone for the input. Buen Camino

    Nevermind, I got it figured out. Antonio just emailed me. This is a great forum.
