The Camino begins on the docks next to a Tourist Info Office, is there a better place in Ferrol for that first selo? Thanks

The concatedral of San Julian is an option too.

The cathedral, but be aware it is not always open. Perhaps get two "first" sellos- one from the Tourist Office - which actually says Camino Ingles on it - and one for the cathedral if open.

There are 3 cafe-bars near the first mojon. Our first stamp came from there as the tourist kiosk was not open. We also collected a stamp from the main tourist office in town. We stayed at the Hotel Almendra and so had a stamp from them next morning. Finding at least 2 stamps a day was much easier in 2015 than in 2011.

I got mine at the concatedral of San Julian about 5 pm last Fall - when you enter, go towards the alter turn right, go a short distance, and then left - back into an office - very nice folks back there!
Buen Camino!!

If you’re in Ferrol the evening before, the Church of San Francisco will give you a sello after 7:30 pm Mass.

any hotel that you stay in in Ferrol should give you a sello.

Just to make sure, I went down to the tourist office at the harbour (open till 6pm) the afternoon before I started when I arrived in Ferrol, and they gladly stamped my credencial dated the next day, so that all the worry about obtaining the first sello was taken away
