camino inglés

Walking together through the landscapes around us and the landscapes within.

A slow pilgrimage through Galicia, designed to reconnect body, mind and inner rhythm.


“I took a walk in the woods

and came out taller than the trees.”

(Thoreau)


The Camino Inglés is one of the historic pilgrimage routes leading to Santiago de Compostela.

Traditionally, it was walked by pilgrims arriving by sea from England, Ireland, Scandinavia and Northern Europe, who landed in the ports of Ferrol or A Coruña before continuing their journey on foot toward Santiago.

Today, it remains one of the most authentic and peaceful Caminos. Less crowded than the more famous routes, it offers a unique opportunity to experience Galicia through forests, small villages, rural landscapes and ancient paths rich in history and tradition.

Walking the Camino Inglés means embracing a slower rhythm, allowing space for nature, reflection and meaningful connection along the way.


Which stages will we walk?

DAY ONE: ARRIVAL IN FERROL

Our journey begins in Ferrol, a historic port city on the Atlantic coast of Galicia. We settle into the town, explore the surroundings, discover the local gastronomy and meet the group before beginning our pilgrimage together.

DAY TWO: FERROL – PONTEDEUME

The Camino begins by following the waters of the Ría de Ferrol, where sea and land meet in a landscape shaped by tides, fishing traditions and Atlantic light. We walk alongside the coast before gradually turning inland, arriving in the beautiful medieval town of Pontedeume, nestled at the mouth of the Eume River.

Distance: 30 km or 18,6 mi
Elevation: +500 m / -500 m or +1,640 ft / -1,640 ft

DAY THREE: PONTEDEUME – BETANZOS

We enter Galicia’s lush green landscapes. The route winds through forests, small villages, and quiet rural paths, with occasional glimpses of the Atlantic. We arrive in Betanzos, one of Galicia’s most charming medieval towns, known for its historic center and its famous tortilla.

Distance: 20 km or 12.4 mi
Elevation: +500 m / -400 m or +1,640 ft / -1,312 ft

DAY FOUR: BETANZOS – HOSPITAL DE BRUMA

Leaving Betanzos behind, we gradually climb into the Galician countryside, moving through forests, farmland, and some of the most peaceful stretches of the Camino Inglés. As the landscape becomes wilder and quieter, the rhythm of walking creates space for reflection and inner stillness.

Distance: 27 km or 16.8 mi
Elevation: +700 m / -300 m or +2,297 ft / -984 ft

DAY FIVE: HOSPITAL DE BRUMA – SIGÜEIRO

The path leads through pine forests, open countryside and small rural communities. There is a growing sense that Santiago is drawing nearer. This is a day to enjoy the simplicity of walking and the quiet beauty of the Galician landscape.

Distance: 26 km or 16.2 mi
Elevation: +350 m / -300 m or +1,148 ft / -984 ft

DAY SIX: SIGÜEIRO – SANTIAGO DE COMPOSTELA

The walk is relatively short and easy, allowing us to savor the final hours of the pilgrimage. As we approach Santiago, emotions often begin to surface: gratitude, joy, nostalgia, relief, or perhaps something unexpected. And then, finally, the Cathedral. After days of walking through forests, villages, and countryside, we arrive in Santiago de Compostela, completing a journey made one step at a time.

Distance: 17 km or 10.6 mi
Elevation: +300 m / -300 m or +984 ft / -984 ft


The rhythm of our days

We’ll settle into a wonderful daily routine during our Camino. Everyone is free to choose which activities to join and which to skip.

  • Morning practice
    We begin each day with a soft yoga and meditation session to awaken the body, calm the mind and set a grounded intention for the walk ahead.
  • Mindful departure
    Before starting the path, we take a moment for reflection and simple mindfulness practices to bring awareness into each step of the journey.
  • Walking the Camino
    The heart of the day unfolds on the trail, walking through forests, villages, and open landscapes, immersed in the natural rhythm of the Camino.
  • Arrival & rest
    On arrival, there is time to rest, shower, and settle into our accommodation, followed by a relaxed and nourishing shared lunch.
  • Afternoon practice
    In the afternoon, after some time of rest, we gather for a creative or reflective session such as art therapy, creative writing, guided reflection or inner exploration exercises.
  • Evening connection
    We meet again for dinner and shared conversation, allowing space for connection, stories and presence.
  • Closing ritual
    Each day ends with a short meditation and a simple pilgrimage-inspired ritual to support integration and rest.
  • Ayurvedic guidance throughout the journey
    Throughout the week, you receive gentle Ayurvedic support, including self-care practices, self-massage techniques and simple tools to support your body while walking and beyond the Camino.

This is not just a walking experience: it is a carefully held journey designed to bring you to Santiago while supporting rest, clarity, connection and inner transformation along the way.
