Camino Inglés
24.7 km, 187 m up and 352 m down, through 4 places, 1 of which has somewhere to sleep. Where you stop is up to you.
Every place on the path in order, with the distance from Hospital de Bruma. Most are too small to sleep in — a fountain, a chapel, a bar that may or may not be open — but they are what the day is actually made of.
The next stretch to Sigüeiro is about 24 km through forest and rural paths. The terrain is predominantly flat with gentle inclines — a welcome change after the hills south of Betanzos. You'll pass through several tiny villages, but services are scarce until Sigüeiro. The walking is pleasant — eucalyptus groves, traditional hórreos, quiet lanes — but carry what you need.
No bar here, but there's another cluster of buildings a short distance down the road that does have one. Don't count on it being open — check locally or carry your own supplies.
A small village along the road. No notable services for pilgrims. The path continues through quiet countryside.
A handful of houses along the road. No services.
Small village. No notable services for pilgrims.
Sigüeiro is the last proper town before Santiago, and it's where you'll want to sort out anything you need before the final stretch. It sits on the Río Tambre, and the bridge across it marks the approach into town. Basi…
Sigüeiro has long been the traditional last stop before Santiago on the Camino Inglés. The pilgrim history here is quiet but deep.
Distance, climb and descent are measured along the GPS track for this camino — 340 recorded points across this span, the same track the app carries. The town-to-town figures in my data put it at 22.5 km.
