Description

Bono Iacobus - English Way from Ferrol

The English Way (Camino Inglés) originated from the route taken by pilgrims from northern Europe. After a sea journey, they docked at the ports of Ferrol or A Coruña to begin their pilgrimage to the Cathedral of Santiago.

Despite sharing the same name, they are actually two different routes: a shorter one, leaving from A Coruña, and a longer one starting from Ferrol.

According to the records collected by the Pilgrim's Office, this route was chosen by 6% of walkers, which means that more than 10,000 people have enjoyed it.

On this occasion, we propose to reproduce the route of the pilgrims from northern Europe starting from Ferrol and walk 118km to the Cathedral of Santiago. Ideal for those who want to enjoy the Camino without facing long distances.

With Bono Iacobus, you will enjoy this experience in a totally different way.
