thank you! i look forward to your report. if you could post your stages and places you stayed at, would be super helpfulI'm walking it in three weeks time, so I'll be happy to provide a full report on the albergues afterwards.
I'm told by a reliable source (@Mark McCarthy ) that Correos are the only source for bag transportation on that route. Check in with him and consider getting his excellent guidebook too.
By then, I'd guess a sleep sack should be sufficient, and if not, most albergues will offer blankets if you are cold.
Buen Camino!
I'll be on the Ingles again in May. I normally just carry a sleeping bag liner during warmer times, but plan on staying in private accommodations this camino.Hi all, I’m hoping to walk the Camino Ingles in late May/ beginning of June. I have ~7 days to do the walk which I hope will be enough. Three questions for those who’ve walked it before: a) for all my previous caminos, I’ve always carried my bag - but this time my sister-in-law might be coming with me, and this would be her first time on any Camino. She will be more amenable to coming along if I could assure her that her bag would be transported. Is there good, reluable bag transport on this route? b) I’m hoping to stay jn albergues - are they open and can I walk in? or because of covid, does one have to book ahead? c) do I need to carry a sleeping bag or would a sleep sack be enough? I’m always very cold at nights. Not sure if albergues still offer blankets or if that’s gone away due to covid restrictions. Any other insights from folks who’ve walked recently would be great…thanks so much!
Caminofacil also provides luggage transfer service on the Ingles. I used them last August. They even agreed to go to a hotel that was not on their drop down list when I contacted them.I'm walking it in three weeks time, so I'll be happy to provide a full report on the albergues afterwards.

I stayed at Hotel Canaima: in O Mesón do Vento. The room was nice and clean and they have a restaurant there, where bunch of fellow pilgrims and I had dinner together. There is a reception desk in the lobby but when I was there I had to go into the bar to find someone to to check me in. The staff was nice and courteous as well.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.
Nice, thanks, I made a reservation at Canaima. Do they pick you up on the Camino, or did you walk the extra KM?I stayed at Hotel Canaima: in O Mesón do Vento.

It is about 500m longer to walk from Casa Avalina to the Canaima rather than to the Albergue at Bruma. You just keep straight ahead on the main road rather than turning left towards Bruma.Nice, thanks, I made a reservation at Canaima. Do they pick you up on the Camino, or did you walk the extra KM?
We are planning on walking the Ingles starting end of May. Is the albergue at Bruma open?
Thanks, Bev
Should be open all year round as it is a municipal albergue.We are planning on walking the Ingles starting end of May. Is the albergue at Bruma open?

If you want, you can add yourself to the list of those starting in May by clicking here.We start on May 20 from Ferrol. Planning first stop at Neda, but there are options.
Terrific! We’re starting on the 29th, but walking short distances so hope to run into you midway. Buen Camino@KayVee we will be starting from Ferrol on May 31st and hoping to get to Santiago on June 6th. Maybe catch you en route!
Me too! I'm bussing into El Ferrol late on 27 May, lazily soaking up the scene for a day, and then walking out with Jen's Amawalkers group on 29 May. We're likely to cross paths!Terrific! We’re starting on the 29th, but walking short distances so hope to run into you midway. Buen Camino
We stayed there as well and did indeed get a ride from the bar/cafe about a KM before the hotel. The owner at the bar was a delight and insisted to call for a ride, stating it was a steep climb on city streets. When we arrived at the hotel, John Brierly was having a drink at the bar...the food was good in the restaurant. They also have a laundry service for a few euros.Nice, thanks, I made a reservation at Canaima. Do they pick you up on the Camino, or did you walk the extra KM?

Anyone knows where I can pick up a credencial in Ferrol? I’m in Spain already and forgot to bring my half-filled one from a previous Camino.
