Spain 8 Day English Way (Ferrol – Santiago)

ENGLISH WAY

FERROL – SANTIAGO DE COMPOSTELA

The English Way is regarded as one of the most beautiful walking trails the Camino has to offer in Spain. Leaving from the port city of Ferrol along the coast, it travels through the medieval towns of Pontedeume with its beautiful plazas, and Betanzos which is known for the best tortillas in Spain, through eucalyptus forests to rural villages and countryside until you reach Santiago de Compostela.

This Camino was the preferred route to Santiago for medieval pilgrims coming from Ireland, England, and Scandinavian countries who arrived by boat to Ferrol to start their pilgrimage.

Our wonderful 8 day trip allows travellers to experience one of northern Spain’s lesser-known walking routes where sandy coves and coastal views combine effortlessly with agricultural landscapes to provide a refreshing and rarely glimpsed vision of Spain.

This slightly ‘off the beaten track’ trail, is recommended for people seeking a quieter, more spiritual experience, away from the crowds of the final stages of the French and Portuguese Way.

Characterful and homely 2/3 star hotels and rural houses always make for a good night’s rest whilst luggage transfers, 24hr assistance, detailed walking notes add to the feeling of freedom without having to stress as you lug your gear from pillar to post.

Alongside the sense of achievement and numerous chances to taste the local Galician food, this walking trip also allows you to qualify for the pilgrim’s certificate of completion in Santiago.
