We actually stayed in Neda a couple of years ago; and in the evening it was the gathering spot of the local teenagers, especially on the veranda. Probably one of the problems is that the albergue is off the street, a little bit isolated next to the school. I didn't see any grafitties, but it...
Zohar, thanks for your post!
And I agree, the Ingles is a really great walk.
Where did you stay - Ferrol, Pontedeume, Betanzos, Bruma and Sigueiro?

Thanks John, great post!
I think next time I will walk the same stages as you did. It's just a shame that the albergues in Neda and Mino are in between.
I'm still surprised how few are walking the Ingles. On the other hand, that's one of the beauties of this Camino, especially if you read...
Hi Dots,
I didn't walk the Coruna branch, but the Camino Ingles from Ferrol to Santiago (see my previous posts), which joins with the one from Coruna just before Hospital de Bruma. It's about 31km from Coruna to Bruma, so should be walkable in one day. I also remember that I saw yellow arrows...
These are the distances of the Camino Ingles sections (measured on Google Earth):
Ferrol (old port) - Neda (Albergue) 13 km
Neda - Pontedeume 15 km
Pontedeume - Mino (Albergue) 10 km
Mino - Betanzos 11 km
Betanzos - Hospital de Bruma (Albergue) 26 km
Hospital de Bruma - Sigueiro 27 km...
Peter - I suppose the 9km from Ferrol to Neda are on the main road, whereas when you walk from the old port, past the Arsenal and on the new footpath along the seafront the distance will increase (I actually just now measured it on Google Earth, it's 13km!). Also you are never really on the main...
XM, you are right, it's actually 8 or even 9 days when you want to include the Fisterra part. Still ok to do it in one week (Saturday to Sunday) if you get the according flight connections.
A possible schedule could be:
Saturday - Flight to La Coruna or Santiago and Bus to Ferrol
Sunday -...
We walked the Camino Ingles from Ferrol to Santiago de Compostela from the 28 April to the 3 May 2007.
We had the CSJ guide, the guide issued by Xacobeo and Bill Murphy’s http://www.pilgrimage-to-santiago.com/board/viewtopic.php?t=1025 report from his camino last year. As much as I appreciate...
I'm not sure if this has already been posted (at least I haven't seen it here before), but this is the link to download the Xacobeo guide for the Camino Ingles. It has maps and a way description, together with other useful info...
Hi Liv, we will walk the Camino Ingles end of April. It's going to be the first Camino for my wife, and the third for me.
We will fly from London Heathrow to La Coruna (direct flight with Iberia), and then bus to Ferroll. Credentials are available in the tourist office, but opening times might...
