For next year, springtime, I am considering this as the ending of a reverse Camino Inglés: From Ferrol to the northernmost point of Spain / Faro de Estaca. Anyone who ever walked the Ruta del Mar in reverse? How easy would it be to get back from there to Santiago?

Early planning time, so I feel quite dumb still ;-)

If you look at @Magwood 's blog she has been to there from O Barqueiro which has a FEVE station. On FEVE you can get to Ferrol and the train/bus back to Santiago


I did SdC - reverse Ingles - reverse RdM to Oviedo. Fairly simple if you keep close to the FEVE line to keep options open / finding accomodation. But timing would need to be flexible as there is usually only 1 or 2 trains/buses per day past Ortigueira

Thank you!
It seems to be rather free of potential complications then. Except of course that pilgrim specific infrastructure is more limited.
I really hope that I will have enough time left in the end to enjoy that supposedly beautiful stretch of the coast.
 
Technical backpack for day trips with backpack cover and internal compartment for the hydration bladder. Ideal daypack for excursions where we need a medium capacity backpack. The back with Air Flow System creates large air channels that will keep our back as cool as possible.

Eye of the beholder.
