Late stamp in A Coruña

[Fotsirk]

I will be starting my second Camino Ingles (already did Ferrol route) from A Coruna in june, but will be starting around 18-19h in A Coruna, walking until 21-2200 to gain some distance for the heavy next day. What would be a good place to get a first stamp, as the tourist office will already be closed at that time?

Thank you for your support.

You might try a hotel that has a reception desk that is going to be staffed when you pass through. I would expect that the major chain hotels would have someone at reception until later in the evening. Smaller hotels might not, or have a night bell arrangement.

Or probably some bar/restaurant where you could purchse something for your walk ahead. If you buy anything, bar staff are usually very happy to stamp your credential!
Buen camino!

Hi @Fotsirk, and welcome to the forum. I see this is your first post.
I had the same issue when walking from A Coruña on a Sunday afternoon (albeit 9 years ago). I tried bars, the bus station and a hotel. In the end, I just wrote 'A Coruña' in the box. I hope you have better luck!
Happy planning and Buen Camino!

Perhaps a church?

Good point. It might be worth checking the local church or Diocesan websites for opening hours.

I walked from Ferrol last year and did NOT find any bar, restaurant or hotel without a stamp. They all had them. I would plan a celebratory vino or caña on arrival and get a stamp.

BTW - as you almost certainly know, walking from A Coruña to Santiago is less than 100km so no Compostela unless you started somewhere else.
