Hey everybody,

I was wondering if it was possible to walk from A Coruna to Ferrol as a way of extending the Camino Ingles.

Also, if it’s possible, how best it can be achieved, so walking stages, accommodation and services.

I appreciate one can easily catch transport between the two cities, but I’m asking specifically about walking.

I did Google this, but there were very few results. Most seem to take the bus.

Thank you in advance!

I don’t know but if you are looking for ‘more Ingles’ this may be of interest?

Hi all. After having to cancel a Camino Ingles last month for family reasons, I am going try again next week. I couldn’t make up my mind which route to do, so why not do both! Well sort of. i.e. on day 3 when I get to Bruma after starting from Ferrol, get a late bus back to Coruna and walk from Coruna back to Bruma next day! And then carry on.

It seems fines albeit with some long days but I have 5 days in total which seems to work! Am I missing anything daft?

@Brightmore, I recall someone asking about getting to Betanzos from A Corona I thought earlier this year, and I found a cycle route on mapy.cz. it looked quite pleasant and was around 30 kilometers I think so a days walk. Don't recall any infrastructure along the route though, something to beware of.

I've just had a quick look on my phone version of mapy and can't find it so you'd probably have to look on computer (you can drag the route around the very easily on computer, see distances etc. Once you save it to your Maps you can then very easily access it on your phone).

From Betanzos back to Ferrol you would simply be doing the Inglés in reverse.

When I walked the CI a decade ago, I started in Covas, a village on the other side of the headland from Ferrol. I stayed in the albergue there, and the walk around the headland took a pretty full day. I think that the albergue has closed, but you would still be able to walk the route.
