Camino Inglés — Ferrol Start Point

📍 Ferrol

The English Way of the Camino de Santiago begins in Ferrol. Pilgrims from Britain would arrive by sea and walk 100+ km to Santiago de Compostela. The route passes through Neda, Pontedeume, Betanzos, and Brabío. Experience a 30% growth in pilgrims this year.

Ferrol is the kilometre 0 of the English Way to Santiago: it begins at the Curuxeiras quay, in Ferrol Vello, the dock where pilgrims from the British Isles and northern Europe arrived by sea. Some 120 km to the cathedral.
