Description
The landscape and the journey
Dave Whitson and Laura Perazzoli offer shorter pilgrimages to Santiago de Compostela and longer coastal combinations in Galicia. Start from Ferrol or A Coruña, connect from Ribadeo or continue to the Atlantic after Santiago.
Routes and itinerary options
Camino Inglés covers approximately 120 kilometres from Ferrol or 73 kilometres from A Coruña. Ruta do Mar adds around 190 kilometres from Ribadeo to the Inglés route. The different itineraries work independently or in combination, with Finisterre and Muxía extensions.
Maps and practical planning
Stage descriptions, route and town maps accompany food, facilities, pilgrim hostels and other accommodation. Preparation, transport, equipment, glossary and useful information sources support choosing overnight stops. Use the route information to compare stages, plan your stops and check practical arrangements before departure.
Choosing the right trip
The Inglés has more established pilgrim services; quieter Ruta do Mar requires closer attention to stops and facilities. Match stages to fitness and terrain and verify seasonal accommodation. Choose an itinerary that fits your experience and available time, allowing flexibility for weather and local conditions.
