is one of the routes of St James Way in northern Spain that leads to Santiago de Compostela and its famous cathedral. It is the shortest of the routes and qualifies for the pilgrimage's certificate (you have to walk the last 100kms to qualify for it).The Camino Ingles is 110km. Along the route you will get your Camino Ingles credencial stamped as proof that you have made the pilgrimage. If you don’t want to do the pilgrimage then just come and enjoy the trek through northern Spain and Galicia.

the heart of the town of Ferrol on the north coast of Spain and
the start point of the Camino Ingles.
Day 2 - Ferrol to Pontedeume (22km 5h +250m -250m)
The English Way begins at the docks of Curuxeiras, in the
neighbourhood that has sprung on the site of the medieval port,
which dates back as far as the 9th C. Leaving the town behind, the Camino follows the coast
passing the monastery of San Martino de Xubio founded in the 8th C.
Day 3 - Pontedeume to Betanzos (22km 5h +250m -210m)
After leaving Pontedeume, the Camino stands on an elevation offering sweeping views of the Rias of Betanzos, Ares and Ferrol.
Day 4 - Betanzos to Bruma-Meson do Vento (26km 6h +360m -0m)

Day 5 - Bruma-Meson do Vento to Siguero (22km 5h +0m -200m)
From the chapel of Bruma the Camino leads to the lush municipality of Ordes. A tree-lined path brings the pilgrim to the church of San Xiao and the lovely village of Casanova. Along this stretch there are meadows with a myriad of springs, which at times render the route impassable.
DAY 6 – Siguero to Santiago (14km 3h +217m -50m)
The way continues along the river and leads to the "fonte do Ingles" (English's fountain). The way soon reaches Meixonfrio, site of an old inn where pilgrims and travellers would stop and rest. After passing a pre-roman hill-fort, where, according to the tradition each passing pilgrim would lay a stone on the already exiting pile, the Camino enters Santiago to reach its imposing cathedral! Then we go to the cathedral office to claim your certificate of pilgrimage by showing your stamped credencial.
