Camino ENGLISH WAY

The Route from A Coruña
The Camino de Santiago (or the Way of St. James) is one of the most famous pilgrimage routes in the world. The English Way (Camino Inglés) was originally the route taken by pilgrims from England, Ireland, and other northern European countries. It typically began with a sea voyage to the Spanish ports of A Coruña and Ferrol before they continued on foot to Santiago de Compostela.

Highlights
This Camino is located in the northernmost part of Galicia, in A Coruña. This coastal city is rich in history, and pilgrims can explore landmarks such as the Tower of Hercules, the world’s oldest functioning lighthouse. The journey then moves inland, passing through the Galician countryside, where you will find charming villages and historical sites. Don’t forget to make key stops along the way, such as Betanzos, a medieval town with a well-preserved historic center.

Who should walk this?
This route is ideal for those seeking a shorter and less crowded pilgrimage. Still, it offers the full spiritual and cultural essence of the Camino. The terrain is moderately challenging, featuring a mix of coastal views and rural landscapes. This makes the Camino well-suited for walkers of all experience levels.
