This route receives its name because it is the route used by pilgrims from northern Europe, from areas such as England, Ireland and the Nordic countries.
After sailing the seas, these pilgrims used to disembark in ports in the north of Galicia, such as Ferrol or A Coruña, from where they continued on foot to Santiago de Compostela.
Today, and to obtain the Compostela through the English Way, pilgrims must start in Ferrol, to walk the 100 km necessary.
This is an alternative and quiet route, away from the crowds of other routes.
We put all our enthusiasm and experience at your service, to make it an unforgettable experience.
