The Town
Discover Ferrol
Ferrol, a city of deep maritime tradition in the same-named Galician estuary, is the main starting point of the Camino Inglés. This Jacobean route was used by medieval pilgrims from the British Isles, Ireland and northern Europe who arrived on the Galician coast by sea. Starting the Camino in Ferrol immerses oneself in a history of shipyards, arsenals and military fortresses. The pilgrim can explore the emblematic Magdalena quarter, an example of 18th-century Enlightenment urbanism with its straight streets and galleries. The Military Arsenal and San Felipe Castle are testaments to their strategic importance. The route starts from Curuxeiras port, offering a landscape of estuary that combines industry with nature from the very beginning. Ferrol provides all necessary services for the walker, including obtaining the pilgrim's credential and a varied range of accommodation options. It is a different start to pilgrimage, which unites Spain's maritime history with the spirituality of the journey to Santiago, traversing coastal and rural Galicia.
