We did it last September and its very easy to take the bus from the airport into town. When you get to the A Coruña bus station go directly downstairs and look for the correct stand. (Our bus stopped outside the bus station so we crossed the road...
The A Coruña railway station and the bus station are a few hundred metres apart separated by a large road. A little below the level of the railway station is the road by which the airport bus enters the city. There are half a dozen trains to...
I love Patagonia clothing. My go-to long sleeve shirt is the Patagonia Capilene Merino long-sleeve shirt - it doesn't have a hood, but its a great lightweight option. It dries super fast as well. I have a few Cool Daily shirts, but I find that I...
I'll be flying into A Coruña this Monday along with my mother and husband, and I haven't quite figured out how to catch the bus from A Coruña to Ferrol. From what I gather, one must take a bus from the airport, into the town, correct? Should I...
I just completed Inglese (La Coruna and Ferrol stages) and I am glad that I chose to walk from Ferrol in 8 days:
Day One ~ Ferrol to Neda, 13.14 Km (8.17 Miles)
Day Two ~ Neda to Pontedeume, 14.07 Km (8.74 Miles)
Day Three ~ Pontedeume to Miño...
That is the itinerary that we walked. I was 83 last year and did not find it too difficult. The path to Neda is very easy. I found the climb after Fene challenging but thereafter ok.
My backpack was only about 4k and I didnt try setting any...
I like that idea! So I’ve decided to skip Bruma. My final (hopefully) Camino will look like this: Ferrol-Neda-Pontedeume-Betanzos-Presedo-O Oteiro-Sigueiro-Santiago. I was trying to figure out a way that made my mom’s first Camino enjoyable, and...
Easier than the section before Bruma, but there is a big long boring straight piece on a dirt road near (parallel to) the motorway.You could simply book everything until Bruma and then take it from there. 10 k's after Bruma in Ordes/Pouli there's...
I already have a private albergue booked in Bruma, however, in planning the Camino, I keep trying to decide if I should break up the Betanzos to Bruma section. If we are completely exhausted by the time we get to Bruma, how is the section from...
When I walked, I stayed in Betanzos two nights, taxiing from and to a restaurant called Casa Julia. I believe the trail has been re-routed since then (2017) and no longer passes by Casa Julia. But you could try something like that: pick a mid-way...
