CAMINO INGLES APRIL 2016 from FERROL TO SANTIAGO 118Km

Traditionally pilgrims from England and Ireland sailed to a Spanish port such as Ferrol and walked from there to Santiago. The modern day camino is marked from the port. Take care of your own travel arrangements and accommodation. For more detail see www.csj.org.uk  You can download a guide for all the caminos from this website or order the booklet. Click Planning Your Pilgrimage and download csj guide to the Camino Ingles. This will give you all the information you need. The web version may be more up to date than the booklet. If you are not staying in the pilgrim hostels it may be best to book your accommodation before your flight. Some of the hotels and casa rurals may be some distance from the camino trail.
