Enjoy a short trek on the English Way from A Coruña to Santiago de Compostela

The Camino Inglés from A Coruña to Santiago is the original route walked by pilgrims from Northern Europe centuries ago. On your very own self-guided English Way Camino, you’ll enjoy a short 6-day trek from A Coruña, following in the footsteps of ancient pilgrims from long ago.

In the 12th century, English and German crusaders visited the tomb of Santiago on their way to the Holy Land. During the 16th century, with the collapse of the English crown, the route’s popularity declined. Today this route is recovering in its two variants, from A Coruña and from Ferrol.

This route from A Coruña is shorter than the one starting in Ferrol. Given that it is less than a hundred kilometers long, it is not possible to receive the Compostela in Santiago for completing this route. That being said, the Pilgrims Credential can still be stamped at every stage.

The Camino Inglés from A Coruña to Santiago is a great route for pilgrims looking for peace and quiet on a lesser travelled path to Santiago. Gastronomy is without a doubt a highlight of this trail, as in Galicia you eat a lot, and you eat well! Discover the magic for yourself on this short Camino Inglés walk.

English Way (Camino Ingles) from A Coruña Tour Itinerary

Day 1 Arrive in A Coruña

Also known as "The City of Glass" because of the galleries that surround its promenade, A Coruña is a seafaring city where you can find culture, gastronomy, and leisure. It is well worth visiting its streets, lanes, and squares, where you’ll no doubt be surprised by its modernist architecture.
Overnight Location: Bed and Breakfast in A Coruña
Distance: None
Meals: None

Day 2 A Coruña to Tabeaio

Begin this first walk from the old town of A Coruña today, which sets the stage, as today’s journey will be quite urban in nature, with mostly asphalt and sidewalk trails. The flat route leads you to O Portádego where you’ll begin to descend towards O Burgo. On arrival in O Burgo, you’ll take in the estuary and its promenade, which is a lovely reward for your efforts so far.

Later, in Sigrás a stop at the church Iglesia de Santiago de Sigrás is must, once the site of a pilgrim hospital. Press on past Anceis, then you’ll take the detour to Tabeaio.
Overnight Location: Bed and Breakfast in Tabeaio
Distance: 18.7km
Meals: Breakfast

Day 3 Tabeaio to Hospital de Bruma

Today's journey contrasts sharply with yesterday's urban setting, exchanging asphalt for lush greenery, rural landscapes, and fewer inhabitants along the way. Despite the change, it remains a straightforward route, with the main challenge arising towards the end of the stage with the ascent to Peito peak, standing at 400 meters high. This climb leads you to As Travesas, where you join fellow pilgrims on the Camino Inglés from Ferrol.

After conquering this ascent, your destination for today, Hospital de Bruma, awaits just a couple of kilometers ahead!

Distance: 13.6km
Meals: Breakfast

Day 4 Hospital de Bruma to Sigüeiro

Compared to the previous day, you are presented with a relatively simple and flat route today.

On arrival in Sigüeiro, you’ll be greeted by a warm village atmosphere in this small community on the banks of the river Tambre.
Overnight Location: Bed and Breakfast in Sigüeiro
Distance: 24.4km
Meals: Breakfast

Day 5 Sigüeiro to Santiago

Your last stage today will be a highlight of your journey on the legendary Camino de Santiago! Today you reach the longed-for Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela. The number of pilgrims increases significantly as you approach your destination today, contributing to the rising excitement and anticipation.

On arrival in Santiago, you’ll first go through an industrial area, but the magic recovers as soon as you enter the historical center, where you can gaze upon the towers of the cathedral as you celebrate the completion of the English Way!
