THE CAMINO INGLES

---

The Camino Ingles serves as the historic pathway of the Camino de Santiago, favored mainly by pilgrims from Northern Europe, notably Britain and Ireland.

Where does the Camino Ingles initiate?

Often termed the English Way, the Camino Ingles begins at two traditional locales: the port cities of A Coruña and Ferrol. Historically, these ports were vital trade avenues, and pilgrims, especially from Northern Europe, Britain, and Ireland, would embark on this route en route to Santiago.

While A Coruña stands as a more prominent and appealing commencement point for the Camino, fewer pilgrims choose it due to its proximity to Santiago de Compostela — it's less than 110km away. Beginning the journey from A Coruña doesn't grant eligibility for a Pilgrim Certificate, unless one has already ventured on the Celtic Camino in Ireland. Consequently, Ferrol is the favored starting location for most on the Camino Ingles.
