Every year Then We Walking Club arranges one or two group Camino, where I walk with a small group of happy travellers towards Santiago. In 2025 I’m leading a group along the Camino Frances but Gerry wanted to walk the coast from Ferrol and so a second Camino is planned along one of Santiago’s oldest Camino Routes.

The Camino Ingles traditionally, in the 10th century, started in A Coruna. But the ancient routes into A Coruna from northern Europe no longer exist and modern pilgrims now start in Ferrol.

As the shortest complete Camino, we’ll walk around 114 kilometres, and qualify for a Compostela.

There are only 8 places; plus myself and Gerry. On the whole, we share twin rooms in hotels, a few of them are pretty swish! And we’ll also spend one night in an albergue; but with our own room for the group.

Daily Stages : Ferrol to Santiago De Compostela

I have booked accommodation for our group but there is always the possibility that changes could be made. Having walked this route I’m happy to split the first few stages as there are a few coastal variations that we can take to make the very most of this beautiful coastline.

Day 1 | Sunday 14 September 2025

Welcome to Ferrol! This coastal city is our starting point of the Camino Inglés. We’ll meet at our accommodation, allow time to explore the old town, and enjoy a group meal to celebrate the start of a new adventure.

Day 2 | Monday 15 September 2025

Our Camino starts with a gentle walk out of town and along the waterfront. We’ll pass a few tiny harbours, small beaches, and sea views. Neda, known for its riverside and estuary views and is our destination for the night.  And we’re staying in a rather swish hotel to boot!

Day 3 | Tuesday 16 September 2025

Today’s path takes us up through forests and small villages. Eventually, leading us down to the beaches and grand medieval bridge into Pontedeume.  The first time I visited I was reminded more of a Cornish fishing village than a Camino town but it has a rich history and welcoming atmosphere.  Our hotel is a few steps away from the busy little café lined square where I’m sure well pass a few hours!

Day 4 | Wednesday 17 September 2025

We start the day with a big hill.  And we’ll walk through a mix of hills and forested trails.  I’ve decided to break this day in half.  It gives us lots of time to meander out of Pontedeume and also time to explore the beaches of Miño.

Day 5 | Thursday 18 September 2025

A more gentle stage today, following peaceful country lanes and forest trails. Betanzos, was a pleasant surprise when I first walked, with its medieval streets and legendary tortilla (although I prefer the original version!) Arriving early affords us time to explore its historic centre and enjoy a well-earned rest.

Day 6 | Friday 19 September 2025

Our longest day and I did consider splitting it but, compared to other Camino days, I really felt it wasn’t too arduous. We walk away from the coast and pass through quiet villages, farmlands, and forests. We end our day in Hospital de Bruma but not before stopping at one of the Camino’s most loved bars!  My guess is we’ll linger here for a while before our last push to find our bed!

Day 7 | Saturday 20 September 2025

Another day in rural Galicia with quiet forests and gentle hills. There’s a bit of a long road walk into into Sigueiro but, as a reward, I know an excellent restaurant where we can relax and enjoy dinner in the company of other pilgrims.

Day 8 | Sunday 21 September 2025

And all too quickly the walk is over.  Our final walking day provides a few more Galician hills but also an enchanted forest and maybe my favourite walk into the city of Santiago. We’ll probably set off early to ensure a prompt arrival in Praza do Obradoiro!  And then I’m pretty sure we’ll find a quiet corner to celebrate the end of our Camino Ingles.

Day 9 | Monday 22 September 2025

I love Santiago de Compostela.  I’ve forgotten how many days I’ve spent here but each time I find a new corner and another reason to visit again. Explore the historic old town, of course visit the Cathedral and the tomb of St James, collect your Compostela from the Pilgrim Office and if you wish, attend the Pilgrim’s Mass.

There’s time to relax and soak up the atmosphere of this iconic pilgrim destination.

Day 10 | Tuesday 23 September 2025

I hate goodbye but today our adventure comes to an end. After breakfast, we’ll say our farewells and head home with memories, new friendships, and of course a great sense of accomplishment!

What’s Included?

Arranging this walk so far in advance means that occasionally accommodation changes. Usually it would be to a similar or better option. On this walk we have booked very nice accommodation but there is one night in a pilgrim albergue; an excellent albergue albeit the only one. But I’ve stayed here previously and I’m happy to return.

When you book this Camino with Then We Walking Club the following are included :
