Camino Ingles from A Coruña

Also known as "The City of Glass" because of the galleries that surround its promenade, A Coruña is a seafaring city where you can find culture, gastronomy, and leisure. It is well worth visiting its streets, lanes, and squares, where you’ll no doubt be surprised by its modernist architecture.

Begin this first walk from the old town of A Coruña today, which sets the stage, as today’s journey will be quite urban in nature, with mostly asphalt and sidewalk trails. The flat route leads you to O Portádego where you’ll begin to descend towards O Burgo. On arrival in O Burgo, you’ll take in the estuary and its promenade, which is a lovely reward for your efforts so far.

Later, in Sigrás a stop at the church Iglesia de Santiago de Sigrás is must, once the site of a pilgrim hospital. Press on past Anceis, then you’ll take the detour to Tabeaio.

Today's journey contrasts sharply with yesterday's urban setting, exchanging asphalt for lush greenery, rural landscapes, and fewer inhabitants along the way. Despite the change, it remains a straightforward route, with the main challenge arising towards the end of the stage with the ascent to Peito peak, standing at 400 meters high. This climb leads you to As Travesas, where you join fellow pilgrims on the Camino Inglés from Ferrol.

After conquering this ascent, your destination for today, Hospital de Bruma, awaits just a couple of kilometers ahead!

Compared to the previous day, you are presented with a relatively simple and flat route today. The area where this stage unfolds consists of asphalt and dirt roads, with plenty of lovely viewpoints along the way. On arrival in Sigüeiro, you’ll be greeted by a warm village atmosphere in this small community on the banks of the river Tambre.

Your last stage today will be a highlight of your journey on the legendary Camino de Santiago! Today you reach the longed-for Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela. The number of pilgrims increases significantly as you approach your destination today, contributing to the rising excitement and anticipation.

On arrival in Santiago, you’ll first go through an industrial area, but the magic recovers as soon as you enter the historical center, where you can gaze upon the towers of the cathedral as you celebrate the completion of the English Way!

Sadly, your English Way walking tour has come to an end. After breakfast, check out of your hotel and begin your travels from Santiago de Compostela. Have a pleasant journey!
