Camino Inglés stage by stage

The route of pilgrims who came by sea from England, Ireland and northern Europe and landed in Ferrol or A Coruña. Ferrol is the most popular start because it is just over 100 km from Santiago, enough for the Compostela. It is short, quiet and green, with one tough climb after Betanzos.
