The Camino Inglés, or the English Way, is a beautiful pilgrimage route that stretches from Spain’s northern coast to Santiago de Compostela. It was traditionally used by pilgrims from Northern Europe, who traveled by sea. People from countries like Sweden, Norway, England, Scotland, and Ireland would journey to ports and then sail to the coast of Galicia. From there, their pilgrimage to the tomb of St. James began.
Pilgrims walked from the ports of Viverio, Ribadeo, Ferrol, and A Coruña to Santiago. Today, modern pilgrims choose their starting points of Camino Inglés in Ferrol or A Coruña. Although shorter, this route still connects with Celtic Caminos in the UK and Ireland, providing the 100 km needed for the Compostela certificate.
Walk in the footsteps of these early pilgrims. Discover the hidden gems of Spain, and make the Camino Inglés your next adventure!
