Weight: 170g To Santiago de Compostela and Finisterre from Ferrol, A Coruna or
Ribadeo Guidebook to the Camino Inglés and Ruta do Mar camino routes through
north-west Spain to Santiago de Compostela. The 116km Camino Inglés begins in
Ferrol in Galicia and takes around a week to complete. It offers reliable
waymarking, pilgrim facilities, and the opportunity to earn the Compostela
certificate on completion. An alternative start in A Coruńa gives a walk of
73km. The Ruta do Mar from Ribadeo provides a 190km coastal link between the
Camino del Norte and the Camino Inglés. A newly recovered camino, its pilgrim
infrastructure and waymarking is less well developed, but for those seeking
solitude it offers striking scenery along a wild coastline. The book also
includes an overview of a continuation route from Santiago to 'the end of the
world' at Finisterre on the Atlantic coast. The guidebook presents the route in
stages of a day's walking. In addition to the route description, there is full
information on facilities, food and lodging, 1:100,000 scale maps of the route
and town maps for key locations. With notes on preparation and planning, travel
and equipment, a list of useful sources of information, and a glossary, the book
is an indispensable companion for any one walking these caminos.
