Planning
Planning your route on the Camino Inglés is very simple, but there are certain things you should take into account. What route are you going to choose? How many kilometres do you want to do, or can you do each day? What to carry in your backpack? Where can you sleep? How much money do you need? How can you get the Compostela?
Como planificar o Camiño Inglés?
The longest route from Ferrol is 113 km and from A Coruña 73,7 km. If we estimate an average of 20-25 km per day, we can calculate the time we need to do the Camino Inglés.
But we all know that the distances on the roads are not precise and it depends on many factors and the services available along each of the stages. The longest version of the Camino Inglés, starting in Ferrol, consists of 5 or 6 stages and the one that starts in A Coruña consists of 3 or 4 stages, but remember, you can walk the Slow Camino Inglés in shorter stages, at your own pace.
- Ferrol – Neda 15.4km
- Neda - Pontedeume 12.9 km
- Pontedeume – Betanzos 19.9 Km
- Betanzos – Bruma 24.1 km
- Bruma – Sigüeiro 24.2 km
- Sigüeiro – Santiago de Compostela 16.5 km
- A Coruña – Sergude 20 km
- Sergude – Bruma 13 km
- Bruma – Sigüeiro 24.2 km
- Sigüeiro – Santiago de Compostela 16.5 km
Regarding the variant from A Coruña, there are pilgrims who decide to do a single stage A Coruña → Hospital de Bruma (33 km), and others who decide to do A Coruña → Sergude and then Sergude → Poulo (about 20 km approximately). There are various options, all these towns have public hostels, and some have private accommodation too.
The Camino Inglés is an itinerary that can be done at any time of the year. The temperature in summer is pleasant and the temperature is not usually so high that it prevents us from reaching the end of our stage.
The Camino Inglés has no issues with pilgrim overcrowding at any time of year, which makes it a most favourable route.
O importante é vivir a experiencia de facer o Camiño Inglés a Santiago. Por iso, a época que elixas estará ben. Só debes prepararte de acordo ás características da estación do ano na que desexes peregrinar. Como planificar o Camiño Inglés é facil en calquer momento do ano.
The Camino Inglés begins on the coast at sea level and climbs inland without exceeding 500 metres in altitude. This means that the temperature is not extreme, neither in winter nor summer, and the main thing we should properly equip ourselves for is the rain.
A roupa que debemos traer ao Camiño Inglés é a que levarías a outro Camiño de Santiago. Non esquezas engadir un chuvasqueiro lixeiro e se ves que ameaza choiva na época na que viaxes, podes sumarlle un protector para a mochila. No apartado de roupa e equipo afondamos máis sobre como planificar o Camiño Inglés neste senso.
At all stages you will find food services in restaurants or bars/cafeterias. At present, due to Covid19, it is not possible to use the kitchens of the public hostels, but there will be sufficient food and drink on offer at the bars and restaurants.
If you want, you can include snacks such as nuts, dried fruit, cereal bars... and if possible — take a reusable water bottle — so we take care of the environment…
The Camino Inglés has various types of accommodation available for pilgrims: public and private hostels, guesthouses and hotels of varying categories.
