The Route enjoyed widespread fame throughout medieval Europe. Traditionally English/Irish pilgrims arrived by sea at Ferrol. The way starts following the rugged hilly coast line, then moving inland to the lush wooded country side.

At each stage, you are guaranteed a great level of comfort and gastronomy. The walk requires a good physical condition. However, it’s a highly rewarding walk including numerous great cultural highlights.

Day 1 - Ferrol
You will be booked in a hotel in the heart of the town of Ferrol. The rooms are en-suite.

DAY 2 – Ferrol to Pontedeume (22km 5h +250m -250m)
The English Way begins at the docks of Curuxeiras, in the neighbourhood that has sprung on the site of the medieval port, which dates back as far as the 9th C. Leaving the town behind, the Camino follows the coast passing the monastery of San Martino de Xubio founded in the 8th C. The route continues on until it merges with the Way of O Salto, and couple of kilometres later joins the road known as the Camino Real, on the banks of the Eume estuary, and the beach of A Magdalena offering you a bit of relaxation.

DAY 3 – Pontedeume to Betanzos (22km 5h +250m -210m)
After leaving Pontedeume, the Camino stands on an elevation offering sweeping views of the Rias of Betanzos, Ares and Ferrol. After crossing the single-arched medieval bridge over the Baxoi river, the Camino leads to Mino by way of the Camino Real once again. Following the shoreline, which is an ever-present feature along the early stretches of the English, we reach the spanning estuary of the Lambre River. This stretch gives lovely views of the Rias de Betanzos and its marchlands.

DAY 4 – Betanzos to Bruma-Meson do Vento (26km 6h +360m -0m)
After leaving the city behind, the Camino ingles reach the old bridge of As Casca spanning the Mendo River, and passing the tree-covered villages of Matino and Boucello. Coming to the abandoned hermitage of San Paio the Camino cross over farmlands until it comes to Bruma, site of a medieval hospital.

DAY 5 – Bruma-Meson do Vento to Siguero (22km 5h +0m -200m)
From the chapel of Bruma the Camino leads to the lush municipality of Ordes. A tree-lined path brings the pilgrim to the church of San Xiao and the lovely village of Casanova. Along this stretch there are meadows with a myriad of springs, which at times render the route impassable.

DAY 6 – Siguero to Santiago (14km 3h +217m -50m)
After crossing the Sigueiro Bridge over the Tambre river, the Camino continues into the municipality of Santiago. The way continues along the river and leads to the "fonte do Ingles" (English's fountain). The way soon reaches Meixonfrio, site of an old inn where pilgrims and travellers would stop and rest. After passing a pre-roman hill-fort, where, according to the tradition each passing pilgrim would lay a stone on the already exiting pile, the Camino enters Santiago to reach its imposing cathedral!

DAY 7 – Santiago de Compostela
