Explore the Camino Ingles

Looking for a Camino that’s shorter, less crowded, and still filled with history and heart? The Camino Inglés, also known as The English Way, might be exactly what you’re looking for. This coastal Camino begins in Ferrol in the north of Galicia, where pilgrims from the United Kingdom, Ireland, and Northern Europe once arrived by boat to start their walk to Santiago de Compostela.

While its popularity waned with the rise of air travel, the Camino Inglés remains a route shaped by tradition, connection, and the spirit of adventure. Today, you can follow in their footsteps—starting your journey in either Ferrol or A Coruña. The path winds through peaceful countryside, charming towns, and recently planted forest trails, all the way to the cathedral in Santiago. With fewer walking days than other routes, the Camino Inglés is perfect if you’re short on time but still want to experience the magic of the Camino.

What is the Camino Inglés?

The Camino Inglés, or The English Way, is a historic pilgrimage route tracing the path taken by medieval pilgrims who sailed from ports like Dublin, Bristol, and London to begin their Camino in Galicia. Today, it offers a quieter, more reflective experience—ideal for those who want to avoid the crowds but still enjoy a meaningful walk to Santiago de Compostela. It’s rich in history yet easy to follow, with a warm welcome waiting around every corner.

Where does the English Way start, and how long is it?

Most pilgrims today start their Camino Inglés in Ferrol, giving you the full 118 km needed to earn your Compostela certificate. If you prefer a shorter walk, A Coruña is another beautiful starting point—just under 75 km from Santiago. If you’ve completed a Celtic Camino in Ireland or the UK (with your pilgrim passport stamped), that distance can still qualify for the Compostela or pilgrim certificate. Whichever route you choose, you’ll walk for around 4 to 6 days, taking in rolling hills, quiet villages, and plenty of time to pause and enjoy the journey.

Why choose the Camino Inglés?

Because it’s personal—you might want to follow in the footsteps of pilgrims from centuries ago. The English Way is quieter and has fewer bars and cafés along the route compared to the French Way or Portuguese Way, but it is still well-marked, well-paced, and wonderfully rewarding. You’ll meet friendly locals, enjoy hearty Galician meals, and find space for reflection. Whether it’s your first Camino or one of many, the Camino Inglés offers a truly special path—shorter in distance, but never in meaning.
