- Sunday : Ferrol - Neda around 2h30 (14km) + Neda to Pontedeume (around 3 hours, 3h30) : 6 hours all
Hello everyone, I hope you are well and your new year is beginning great!
I am preparing my first ever camino, I live in Bordeaux France, and since I always have a week off, i decided to do the Camino Ingles, I did many research and made this itinerary :
I still have to decide if I take a plane Friday afternoon Bordeaux to A Coruna and then Saturday bus to Ferrol,
or I take a place saturday to A Coruna and then sunday morning bus to Ferrol where I begin my Camino...
The planning i prepared is this :
Sunday : Ferrol - Neda around 2h30 (14km) + Neda to Pontedeume (around 3 hours, 3h30) : 6 hours all
Monday : Pontedeume to Betanzos - 5 hours approx (18 - 20 km)
Tuesday : Betanzo to Hospital de Bruma approx 5 hours
Wednesday : Hospital de Bruma to Sigueiro approx 5 hours (22 km)
Thursday : Sigueiro to Santiago (around 16 km) approx 3h30
I have a place Sunday to go back to Bordeaux from Santiago.
Could you please tell me what you think of this planning?
i noted that I need to have 2 stamps per day to get the compostella, so i'll begin having them in Ferrol on Sunday i guess.
plus in every city i arrive to , I will check for the public dorms otherwise see if there are private ones.
I would appreciate to have your opinion on this route and any advice and tips you can give me as it is my first camino.
Thank you so much for your time and help,

make sure to stop at the Bar Avelina in As Trevasas
thanks so much! i will surely pass there!!Your plan sounds just fine! I would add to make sure to stop at the Bar Avelina in As Trevasas, where the two routes meet, just before Hospital de Bruma. Avelina takes care of pilgrims and she will show you their pilgrim-supported little church, Capela de San Roque. It may be one of your best experiences on this camino. You can read more about it here, on my website.
Also, if the albergue is full in Hospital de Bruma, there is another private albergue in town, and more accommodations, 1.8 km away in the town of Ó Mesón do Vento. My website, for day six on the Camino Inglés, covers this information as well!
Have a fabulous Camino and happy planning!
thanks for your advice, unfortunately, i cannot take many days off from work and I really want to do it, but I will surely try to make the best our of the best time I have!Like already mentioned...why the rush?
I did the Inglès in June 2019 and did it slow, absorbing the experience and stopped almost every opportunity to have something to drink and collect sellos.
Have a look what you can visit/see along the road. There a lot of alternative roads (longer) that you can walk instead of the 'straight' way.
And yes, the Camino is passing a lot near the high way
Buen Camino
Is there a way to avoid walking along the highway or busy roads? I've read about alternate routes. Andy advice?Like already mentioned...why the rush?

I would be interested in reading your slower itinary, and any options for avoiding road walking. Plus all the opportunities for eating and drinking!Like already mentioned...why the rush?
