If you take the bus to Ferrol on the Camino Inglés instead of to A Coruña, you will get the Compostela, Deni. That's a 118 km walk. Any chance of doing that instead of just ("just") to A Coruña?
You are eligible for a Compostela if you continue your "Frangles" from Ferrol vs A Coruna, I believe>
I'm not sure how serious you are with this comment. As you read the forum more widely, you will realize just how important the consistent and even handed application of the 100km rule is to many of us, and the oprobrium leveled at those who might be seen circumventing it by using buses, etc during that important qualifying distance.Where's their sense of generosity?A Coruña is a lot easier to get to than Ferrol as transport connections seem much more frequent. I haven't been able to find a bus connection to Ferrol and there only seems to be one train a day.
I'm sorry, but it clearly is if you don't meet the minimum distance and do the last 100km on foot. Walking from A Coruña does not meet the minimum requirement.I have absolutely no problem with a minimum distance but covering multiples of it by combining two historical routes and having that ignored seems a bit severe. Seven hundred km on foot is hardly circumventing the rules.
frequent. I haven't been able to find a bus connection to Ferrol and there only seems to be one train a day.
By bus, you can take a bus from Sarria to Lugo with www.monbus.es and another one from Lugo to Ferrol with www.arriva.gal The daily direct bus from Lugo to Ferrol departs at 16:00
I came across references to Arriva "Lines 8" Lugo - Ferrol online but there don't seem to be any details on their website. Do you know if the route still exists?
The train is not that big a deal if your only intention is qualifying for a Compostela.Where's their sense of generosity?A Coruña is a lot easier to get to than Ferrol as transport connections seem much more frequent.

As long as you walk the last 100km to Santiago (no matter on which Camino) and can proof it with two stamps per day it isn't a problem
In a later section the text provides for a break during a last 100 km. The pilgrim is required to return to the point where the break was taken and get another stamp there before re-starting, thus showing continuity of the pilgrimage.
To show willingness to maintain this continuity I wonder if @deni would need a stamp the day he leaves Sarria and a stamp that same day on arrival (by whatever means) at Corunna?
My purpose in picking up this rather obtuse point is to help @deni in his conversation with the volunteer at the pilgrims office.
... ~ btw, can one get the Certificate of Distance without getting the Compostela?
Buen Camino!
would it be possible to get a certificate of distance if one walked from SJPP to Sarria and then from Ferrol to Santiago?
