Before we delve into the length and stages, let’s grasp the essence of the Camino Ingl\u00e9s.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Steeped in history, this route has been travelled by pilgrims for centuries, especially those coming from Northern Europe, hence why it\u2019s called the English Way.<\/span><\/p>

Starting from the coastal town of Ferrol or the vibrant city of A Coru\u00f1a, the Camino Ingl\u00e9s spans over 100 kilometres to the Cathedral city of Santiago de Compostela.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Along the way, you’ll encounter picturesque landscapes, charming towns, and welcoming locals, immersing yourself in the rich cultural Galician heritage of northern Spain.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

When it comes to the Camino Ingl\u00e9s, there are two primary starting points: Ferrol and A Coru\u00f1a.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

The Ferrol route covers around 119 kilometres (74 miles) and is considered slightly more challenging, with rolling hills and rugged terrain.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

On the other hand, the A Coru\u00f1a route is approximately 75 kilometres (47 miles) long and boasts a more coastal and urban experience.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Pilgrims wanting to obtain their certificate of completion (compostela) at the Pilgrim office in Santiago must have completed at least 100km and if walking from A Coru\u00f1a must have walked a stretch of a Camino in their homeland with stamps to prove this.<\/span><\/p>

My recommendation is to walk from Ferroll. I flew into A Coru\u00f1a and got a taxi to Ferrol to start walking and the journey was painless and quick.<\/span><\/p>

Each variation of the Camino Ingles route offers its own unique charm and allows you to tailor your pilgrimage according to your preferences.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The fourth stage spans approximately 28 kilometres (17.4 miles) from Betanzos to Hospital de Bruma. This part of the Camino Ingl\u00e9s presents a mix of rural landscapes and quaint villages.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

As you traverse through picturesque farmlands, take a moment to appreciate the beauty of Galicia’s lush countryside.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

The town of Hospital de Bruma offers a peaceful resting place for weary pilgrims. The Albgerue here is particularly nice and has its own restaurant opposite the Albergue de Peregrinos de Bruma. Great value at approx \u20ac10 a night.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

From Hospital de Bruma, the Camino continues to Sig\u00fceiro, covering around 25 kilometres (15.5 miles). This stage provides a transition from rural landscapes to more urban settings as you approach Santiago de Compostela.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Sig\u00fceiro offers amenities such as accommodation, restaurants, and shops, ensuring you have everything you need for the journey’s final leg.<\/span><\/p>

We stayed at the Albergue Camino Real which receives great reviews and lived up to them. I would recommend staying here.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The last stage is a memorable one, spanning approximately 16 kilometres (10 miles) from Sig\u00fceiro to Santiago de Compostela.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

As you approach the grand finale, the anticipation of arriving at the Cathedral really gets you excited. The trail winds through forests, suburban areas, and finally leads you into the majestic city of Santiago de Compostela.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

The Cathedral is amazing and you can celebrate arriving and completing your Camino Ingles.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

This is me arriving in the city and walking through the final stretch with bagpipes playing. It still raises hairs on the back of my neck.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
