The tour "Camino Ingles: The English Way To Santiago De Compostela" starts from Ferrol and ends in Santiago De Compostela. It is a walking trip that takes 8 days taking you through Cabanas, Bruma, Santiago De Compostela and 7 other destinations in Spain. "Camino Ingles: The English Way To Santiago De Compostela" is a self-guided private tour that includes accommodation in hotels, meals and others.

Walk the English Camino from the Atlantic coast at Ferrol to Santiago de Compostela. Pilgrims arriving from England, Ireland and northern Europe to walk the last stretch to the tomb of St James in Santiago de Compostela traditionally arrived by ship in A Coruna or Ferrol. Beginning in Ferrol has become the popular starting point of the English Way as pilgrims will qualify for the Compostela certificate. The route through Galicia takes in classic seaside towns, woodlands of fragrant eucalyptus and rolling meadows with the occassional vineyard. The trail, while significantly quieter than the popular French route, has no shortage of significant churches, monasteries and crosses to mark the way.
