Camino Inglés
30.7 km, 312 m up and 380 m down, through 5 places, 2 of which have somewhere to sleep. Where you stop is up to you.
Every place on the path in order, with the distance from O Outeiro. 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.
Between O Outeiro and Fonta the camino can become confused. Keep your eyes open for arrows, again remembering to distinguish between the purple and yellow variations. You will eventually come to a jumble of houses where a road ends, and it is there that the arrows become confused. Your best option is to keep on the road and watch for arrows. From this point, you will begin a series of steep switchbacks.

Small village. No notable services for pilgrims.

An industrial estate on the outskirts of Santiago. There's a café-bar here (Café Bar Polígono) for breakfast or coffee, but the surroundings offer little visual reward. This is the final sprint — the old town is close no…
Welcome to Santiago. You've walked the English Way, and whatever your reasons for being here, the city has a way of making the arrival feel significant. Your first pilgrim business is likely in front of the Cathedral, a…
Book ahead if you're arriving in high season. The albergue roster has grown in recent years, but pilgrim numbers still exceed capacity in summer. Private accommodation fills up fast around the Feast of Saint James.
Distance, climb and descent are measured along the GPS track for this camino — 409 recorded points across this span, the same track the app carries. The town-to-town figures in my data put it at 31.6 km.
