It’s such a great short Camino, isn’t it! Good infrastructure (bar the bottleneck at Bruma) and bags of Camino spirit ☺️ Sounds like you did a bigger 1st day than me, thankfully I could take it slow.
I was impressed with the route, there are lots of cheap municipal albergues along the way and good pilgrim numbers. There is one spot where accommodation gets tight, which I will talk about in the videos. Thanks for taking the time to watch. Buen Camino
It's a wonderful one week Camino, I cannot recommend it enough. Glad you liked the video. If you do get to walk it, try to set off early if you want to stay at the municipal albergue in Hospital De Bruma, as it can get quite busy in this town. Buen Camino
I recently finished walking the Camino Frances from Sarria to Santiago de Compostella. So now I’m really interes in walking the Camino ingles at some point. I hope your series helps and I hope you had a great time doing yours!
Congratulations on completing Sarria to Santiago! It sounds like you enjoyed it if you’re already planning your next one ☺️ I loved the Camino ingles, it shouldn’t be as busy as your last walk, but there are plenty of pilgrims walking this route. If you need any tips I’m always happy to help
Very cool. I'll be walking the camino ingles from Ferrol in early September and look forward to it. Of course, it will be much shorter than from Madrid, which I did last year. After completing the ingles and getting my certificate, I will head to Portugal and walk the carmelite way from Coimbra to Fatima. I walk caminos pretty much every year now, and am deciding between the norte and the levante from Toledo for 2024.
I think you’ll enjoy it, it’s a lovely short camino. I’m currently on the Portuguese coastal and I’ve seen lots of pilgrims walking to Fatima. Sounds like you’ve got the camino bug too 😄 Ive not walked the Madrid camino, what was it like?
@@Caminohacks Last year, several of the municipal albergues in various towns were closed, but that appears to be no longer the case, per Gronze. In Cercedilla, you have to be careful because the hostel in town is only open M-F. I arrived on a Sunday and ended up camping in the forest a few km after Cercedilla. This camino shares some similarities with the via de la plata in terms of lonely stretches and scarcity of pilgrims, and is definitely not as well set up as the frances as far as infrastructure. In two weeks from Madrid to Sahagun, I think I met only one foot pilgrim, but several bikers who tended to arrive at a later hour at the albergues. Once I hit Sahagun and the French camino, it was a different world with albergues everywhere, although there weren't any large crowds until after Sarria. If I walk from Toledo, I will take the less crowded Sanabres (via Ourense) rather than walk up to Astorga for the French camino. I do enjoy that section of the French camino, just not too fond of the large crowds at the very end. I've definitely got the camino bug. This year, it will be my 6th one (Frances, Primitivo, Via de la Plata, Madrid, Portuguese interior, and now Ingles). Too bad the Fatima walk, as far as I know, has no certificate.
Nice video. Thanks for uploading. I haven't watched the full series yet, but were you following the original path, or the newer "updated" one? I understand that some walkers prefer the original.
Thank you for watching. I believe it was the original path for the most part. I did take one alternative option on day 2, with the help of the wise pilgrim app, but apart from that it was pretty much the official route for me. It's well marked along the route and it had a good number of pilgrims walking, not too busy and not too quiet, just how I like it. If you have anymore questions about the route, I'm happy to help answer them for you. Buem Camino
Bon Camino Pilgrimbrother, in October 2024 I want to be on the Camino again. I have one Question: Do you took a flight to A Coruna or to Santiago d. Compostela? I would prefer A Coruna, because it´s a bit strange to start the journey at your destination 😏. I´ve heard, that the connection (A Coruna- Ferrol) is a bit problematic.
Buen Camino! I flew to santiago and then caught the bus up to Ferrol, which was super easy. I understand not wanting to start at the end, as it were. I met people who flew to A Coruna and they caught a bus, which they said was fairly straight forward- although it may not run as frequently if you're going in the off season. Would be good to check rome 2 rio for bus times. I would pick the cheapest, most accesbile flights for the country you're leaving from. If you don't want to see Santiago then stay on the outskirts, near the bus station or as soon as you land keep moving and go straight to Ferrol - if time permits.
What a memory! We walked till Pontedeume but we were on an hurry. Beautiful Cammino

Lovely! What a great video, so calming
Thank you! 😊
Thanks for sharing your journey with us.

I’m thinking of walking the Camino Ingles next year so I’m very interested in following your progress - thank you for sharing.

Thanks for sharing. Hoping to walk this route in May, so really useful!

@@Caminohacks thank you! And yes I did really enjoy it.
😊 pleased to hear that
Nice! Looking forward to tagging along with you. Much Thanks.
Thanks 😊
"massive dry sandwich" 😄😪 it's true though! why so dry, *always*? nice video, thanks!
Some butter would be nice! Good jaw exercise though 😂
haha indeed - I don't think I've had even one truly Fresh Bocadillo across two Caminos. Just..how?@@Caminohacks
Maybe we need to do a new video series called 'Hunting for the Perfect Bocadillo'! It might be a road to nowhere though, ha ha
haha don't we ever! a quest, never to be fulfilled ...@@Caminohacks

I find gronze to be the most up to date source of albergue information. Must have been tricky with some albergues not being open when you walked
Did you walk in early September?
