Six Days To Santiago: Walking the Camiño Inglés
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 28 авг 2024
- This is the story of a week walking the Camiño Inglés from Ferrol to Santiago de Compostela in April 2022.
It was my third Camino, the shortest and the least populated, as the Camino recovers from two years of Covid and many other unwanted distractions.
But just like the other routes I have walked, it taught me many lessons and gave me peace, calmness and serenity, with gorgeous Galician landscapes delighting me at every stage.
120km are summarised here in 23 minutes, along with the marvellous bonus of a first trip to Muxía and a visit to the Monumento al Caminante at Monte do Gozo.
As ever, a week on the Camino is worth so much more than that.
Really enjoyed the video. Thankyou Miki Goldie
Wonderful video, excellent photography thanks for sharing. Congrats. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 🇲🇽 👋🏼👋🏼
Thank you very much!
Thanks for doing the video. Just come back from another Camino and they are special. I also loved Muxia …it is really very special. Each Camino is different and you always learn …so they get better!
You're right - they all have their own character, and their own cast of characters that walk with you!
Great walking tour. Thanks for taking me along with you
Takk fyrir!
I enjoyed your video very much. I've done 6 Camino's and I make a video after each one. Your video has inspired me to do the English Way next September. Thank You.
Hello Martin, and thank you for your kind words, I'm delighted to hear my little video has inspired you in some small way. You may have seen I have made a few others. If it helps your planning, I also blogged that journey - daily entries start here. johnelsewhere.blog/2022/04/01/who-do-we-think-we-are/
thanks for sharing.... going to do this in 2024 along with Camino do Mar and Finesterra Buen Camino
I’m glad to hear it! You’ll have a great time!
Great video, brings back many memories. Have walked this route twice, hopefully going back next year and brining my daughter with me.
Good luck!
Thank you. Beautiful.
Thanks! I'm glad you liked it, although the Camino deserves all the credit!
Well done. Happy memories
Thank you!
Beautiful!
Thank you, William. The real credit belongs to the Camino, of course.
Muchas gracias John. Wonderful to see Camino Ingles. I am walking it next year and great to know what its like. I have already done Frances and Portuguese. Can't wait to follow the yellow arrows once more. Cheers buen Camino Liam
I know the feeling very well! I've made similar films for those two as well. Take a look and see how close it matches your experience!
Thanks John. Wasn't expecting a reply. Have saved your French and Portuguese videos to watch tonight.

@@user-yf6qc3mv2m You're welcome! If you'd like to relive the French route in words, I wrote a book about it, too! a.co/d/77LAZHk
Fabulous! I'm so happy to have found this. I am doing the Camino Ingles in June and this is the most current video I've seen. It's great. Loved your camino. Thank you for posting.
Good luck with your Camino, Aroha!
How was your Camino, Aroha?
La hermosa Galicia a través de las Mariñas.
Very lovely rendition of your Camino. Loved the cinematography and loved the music selection.
Thanks Elle
Thanks for that! Ingles will be my third Camino in March.
It was my third too! Enjoy!
Loved this. My father was born in A Coruna, I plan on walking this if I can late September
I’m glad you liked it! It’s a lovely walk.
Gorgeous video. I am going to do the camino Ingles Spring 2023, and my stops are the same as yours. This video has been mighty helpful.
I’m so glad to have helped a little with your planning! I wrote a daily blog with lots of information about hotels, albergues, restaurants and cafes, happy to share with you if you need more!
@@johnlloyd3279 yes please, if you don't mind! Thank you so much!

Many thanks John for sharing your journey.
Thanks Mark!
Hello…..just found you video. Wonderful, brought back MANY memories…. Walked the Ingles in September 2022. Weather was perfect and NO rain….
Question…did you know the fellow towards the end of the Camino who was wearing the Texas Longhorns cap? I live in that University town.
Thanks …Paul
Do you mean at the end of the table, around 16 minutes in? Yes, he's a Dane called JT Pedersen, who now lives in Santiago. We're Facebook friends!
Thanks John…..just watched your lovely video again….! Would you and JT Pederson allow me to join your Facebook group.?
Thanks, Paul

Hi John...What a great video. My son-in-law has invited me to join him on the Camino Ingles Spring 2024 and your video has inspired me to say yes (Even though I will be 65 and he is 20 years younger and a lot fitter than me). I think we may follow the same route as you (it looks glorious - just hope we have as good weather as you seem to have had) Any tips from your own experience as this will be my first Camino (Ferrol-Santiago)
Hello and thanks very much! I'm glad to hear that the video has helped you decide to walk. The English Way was my third Camino and I loved it. I blogged each day of the journey, which might help you with your planning.

Thanks for sharing. I enjoyed watching your video because tge Camino Inglese is on my bucket list and I wanted to know actually how hilly it is and it seems there are quite a few. The reason is to train and be prepared for them before I go!
I’m glad you liked it! Yes, there’s a few hills to tackle, with a long uphill stretch to get to Hospital de Bruma. Preparation will help!
Hi I got a glance of your comment and when i went to reply it seems to be gone. yes i would love a video of the frances. I am starting next April. The Camino Ingles was a test run ..well sort of :) a very passionate test run and i loved every minute of it
Hi Alexandra - yes, the thread came and went, but it seems to be back now!
Here’s my first Camino, for the Francés: ruclips.net/video/-Pdjo1btjCQ/видео.htmlsi=J0ednlB3M-aIdhmw
And the Português: ruclips.net/video/x6cTt95zDnA/видео.htmlsi=8WMGEP9qudxpYTKi
And the book I wrote about the Francés: www.amazon.co.uk/Your-Own-Way-Following-footsteps-ebook/dp/B087BHLKL4
@@johnlloyd3279 i think I replied on the thread as well I don't remember. Looking forward to the videos thank you
@johnlloyd what airport did you fly into to start at Ferrol? and how did you get to Ferrol after that? Enjoyed your video.
Hello! I flew into A Coruña (which meant I saw a large section of the route from the air). Then I took a bus from there to Ferrol the following morning. The bus station at Ferrol is a couple of kilometres from the harbour and the official start point of the Camino route, and you'll be walking back some of the same streets once you begin, but that's fine. I wrote a daily blog that may help you too. Start here! johnelsewhere.blog/2022/04/01/who-do-we-think-we-are/
Wonderful video! Lovely music! Great photography! Thanks for sharing! This is exactly the journey I’m considering from start to finish in 2024. How long did it take to walk? Also, did you walk it from Muxia to Finisterre?
Thanks Susan! It took six days to walk from Ferrol to Santiago. And then I caught a bus to Muxía. Perhaps I might walk from Santiago to Muxía and Finisterre next!
Hi my sister and I are planning to do this route in Aug. Can you recommend hotels/accommodations along the route please? Thank you
I can! I blogged each day of the trip, including the names of the places I stayed. Www.Johnelsewhere.blog
If you start here, there’s an entry for each day. johnelsewhere.blog/2022/04/01/who-do-we-think-we-are/
How did you get to Ferrol?
I flew to A Coruña from Gatwick and then caught a bus to Ferrol from there.
Thankyou for saying you were in A Coruña before your walk. (Maternal side of my family is from there and I spent many happy Summers as a child on Playa Riazor with my cousins)
I plan to walk the Camino Ingles in 2023 with my daughter after a stop in A Coruña first (2-3 days) to introduce her to our heritage and visit my grandparents grave. It will feel like going home for me even though not been there since 1985! Thankyou for your video of beautiful Galicia.
Great stuff, John! Buen Camino and perhaps our paths will cross one day (CWBuff on "The Forum")
Maybe, one day!
