Have a drink at the Parador and large free tapas. Naval Museum is free. Get your passport and stamp at marina near 0km marker and walk the Camino Ingles (might need a few extra days)!

Ferrol has a strong cultural influence from military people coming from other regions like Cartagena (Murcia) and Cádiz (Andalucia), so that the Semana Santa ferrolana with its "cofradias" and "pasos" like in the south of Spain and the fact that it is "not a good idea" to speak Galician language to them despiste most of them have Galician origin.
