The Camino Inglés, which translates to the "English Way" in English, is one of the several pilgrimage routes leading to the city of Santiago de Compostela in northwestern Spain, where the remains of St. James the Apostle are believed to be buried. This camino is relatively shorter and less traveled compared to some other routes like the Camino Francés, making it a quieter and more intimate pilgrimage experience.
The Camino Inglés traditionally starts in two main cities in northern Spain - Ferrol and A Coruña. Ferrol is the more common starting point, and the route from there is known as the "Ferrol Route" or "Camino Inglés de Ferrol." Both routes eventually merge before reaching Santiago de Compostela.
The terrain varies, but pilgrims can expect a mix of coastal views, rural landscapes, and some challenging hills. The route is generally well-marked with yellow arrows and scallop shells, the symbols of the Camino.
Along the way, pilgrims can enjoy picturesque coastal scenery, charming villages, and historical sites. Some notable places include Pontedeume, Betanzos, Hospital de Bruma, and Sigüeiro.
Pilgrims on the Camino Inglés can immerse themselves in the rich cultural and spiritual heritage of the region. They have the opportunity to visit churches, cathedrals, and other religious sites, as well as experience the local cuisine and traditions.
Pilgrims who complete at least the last 100 kilometers (62 miles) on foot or the last 200 kilometers (124 miles) by bike and obtain the necessary stamps along the way can receive the Compostela certificate in Santiago de Compostela as a recognition of their pilgrimage.
Overall, the Camino Inglés offers a unique and slightly quieter pilgrimage experience for those seeking a more intimate connection with the Camino de Santiago and its spiritual, cultural, and natural elements.
