Camino Ingles

[jerry felty]

Hola Perigrinos.....I am preparing to fly into Acoruna from Columbus Ohio on April 1. Due to some health issues I'm unsure if I can walk the entire way to Santiago, but I plan to be there one way or the other for Easter Sunday service on April 8. If I walk all the way it would be great, but it may take more than 3 days. My question: does anyone know about Os Campanos and the walking distance from Acoruna? It may be a practical first stop for me. Any information or advice would be greatly appreciated. Gracias, Jerry (61 and goin'' walkin' )

Hola Jerry,

I've walked the Coruna leg of the Ingles a couple of times but don't recognise Os Campanos. Is this a place or a hotel/hostal? Will try to help out if you can supply a bit more info as to where/what this is. Failing that Johnnie Walker from the forum is the "main man" for the Ingles route and may be able to help you out.

Regards
Mig

Hola - happy to help but I don't know anything about Os Campanos I'm afraid.

Hello Miguel....I read on someone's blog describing their Camino Ingles trek that they stayed at Os Camponos the first night out from Acoruna, but you're right...I haven't seen it mentioned anywhere else I don't think. I have J Walker's guide and wondered why I didn't see it listed in there. I see that the Hostal Meson Vascal is 12 Kl. from Acoruna...perhaps that would be a good destination for me. Thanks for your response to this first timer.

Hi Jerry,

you'll enjoy it. I walked from A Coruna with my 15 year old daughter last October and it was very good. Let us know if we can help at all. John's Guide is excellent - follow the advice and instructions in that to work out a schedule that suits you, and you'll be fine.

buen camino

Hola Barbara

Although the Camino Ingles is not the busiest of routes it is very beautiful and leaving on 25 August you will meet other pilgrims.

Hi Barbara, as Johnnie says you should find other pilgrims on the Ingles route in August but you are already on your way and you have already found new friends, here on the forum!

Buen Camino

I am intrigued. Did you find new friends on the way?

 

[Al the optimist]

Yes Jennysa, it would be nice to know. My own experience was that it was perhaps a little to short to form more than passing friendship. By the way I didn't find Barbara's body on the way, so it looks like she made it! ;-)
