Tour’s Location
Camino Inglés from Ferrol to Santiago
Camino Inglés from Ferrol to Santiago is the itinerary that pilgrims from the Northern European countries traveled in the Middle Ages to reach Santiago. They arrived by boat to reduce the pilgrimage time. This variant has its origin in Ferrol, but it can also start in A Coruña or you can do this same variant, from Ferrol, in shorter stages, stopping in Pontedeume.
A less crowded Way
It is a good alternative for people who want a less crowded path, more solitary but well signposted.
Ferrol, much more than a starting point
Our starting point is the city of Ferrol, a place that has it all, much more than we can imagine. It is a coastal town, so it is surrounded by magnificent beaches, a paradise for the most seasoned surfers.
In the center of the city, we can take a tour arround the “Ferrol de la Ilustración”, the “Modernism Route” and also the “Las Meninas Route”, with a much more modern and urban accent where the protagonist is “Street art”.
Its Easter Week is also well known, declared of International Tourist Interest.
Difficulty of the Camino Inglés from Ferrol to Santiago
The route of this Camino Inglés is of a medium-low difficulty. They are less than 120 kilometers that begin in practically urban areas to enter the wonderful Fragas do Eume on the third day. Only on our fifth day, on the stage between Betanzos and Hospital de Bruma, will we find a somewhat more rugged and demanding area.
We always walk south and inland, so from the fifth day on, we will leave the coast. Before that, however, we have an end of the stage in the town of Betanzos. Although, throughout the tour we will enjoy the fantastic galician gastronomy, we cannot miss our visit to Betanzos without trying its worldwide famous Spanish omelette.
The entrance to Santiago, although it begins in a small industrial area, immediately reaches the beautiful area of the San Francisco Convent to take us to the historic center and, directly, to the Plaza del Obradoiro.
Buen Camino!
Ferrol
A city with a strong maritime character that is closely linked to the activities of the navy. It is worth highlighting the modern style of its streets and the great gastronomic offer that leaves no one indifferent. Arrival on the customer’s own initiative (see transfer service).
Accommodation in Ferrol.
Ferrol – Neda
Difficulty level: easy.
This first stage is short and flat. It runs mainly through urban areas and parallel to the estuary. There are no big climbs or complicated sections.
Accommodation in Neda.
Neda – Miño
Difficulty level: medium.
We cross the city of Fene towards Pontedeume. There stands out As Fragas do Eume, an Atlantic forest of great ecological value, to finally reach Miño. This stage takes place near the main roads and with low hills and changes the mouth of Ferrol into the mouth of Ares.
Accommodation in Miño.
Miño - Betanzos
Difficulty level: easy.
Stage with a few kilometers, which mainly leads through rural areas. The most difficult point is the climb from Ponte do Porco to Montecelo. We reach Betanzos, a beautiful medieval town known for its omelet.
Accommodation in Betanzos.
Betanzos – Hospital de Bruma
Difficulty level: Medium.
We are facing the most difficult and complex phase of this path. We move away from urban centers and estuaries to walk several kilometers in nature. Surrounded by forests and shrubs, we cross steep terrain and small villages until we reach Mesón do Vento. There are hardly any services in this section.
Accommodation in Hospital de Bruma.
Hospital de Bruma – Sigüeiro
Difficulty level: Medium.
Compared to the previous day, we are presented with a relatively simple and flat route today. The area consists of asphalt and dirt roads.
Accommodation in Sigüeiro.
Sigüeiro – Santiago
Difficulty level: medium.
Last stage. Today we reach the longed-for cathedral. The number of pilgrims increases significantly as we approach our destination. This stage has many kilometers with moderate slopes. The arrival in Santiago goes through an industrial area, but the magic recovers as soon as we enter the historical center until we can take a look at the towers of the cathedral.
