By accident, I found myself on this new Camino in early December 2022. Not the best time to visit you would have thought, but as fate would have it, the weather was excellent. On return I decided to look into a bit more about the route(s) to Saint Andrews.
Firstly there are a whole bunch of routes to be explored for those looking for .. routes to be explored. Secondly, it is a quiet and peaceful route away from main centres. There are a lot of local communities you pass through but few are large enough for you to be inconspicuous. My route from Ferrol continued onto the Ruta do Mar as far as Viveiro where I had to cut it short to be able to make a ferry connection.
The Ferrol route is well signposted and much of the way is through forest roads or past small communities - smaller than villages so not much by way of supplies if you need them. Not much accommodation either apart from the (very well appointed) Casa Rural there.
According to the legend there, if you don't visit while alive, you'll visit afterwards as a tormented soul or reincarnated as a small animal. So glad I visited then.
