Attention: Route not available for walking between November 1 and January 15, 2025

The English Way from A Coruña is one of the most historic Jacobean routes, and perhaps one of the most different, as it has little in common with the French or Portuguese. This Camino is much more intimate, perfect for those looking to disconnect and enjoy a much more personal retreat, travelling unhurriedly and soaking up the history and culture of the places it passes through.

The most beautiful and wild Galicia is waiting for you, ready to make you fall in love at every step. You will begin your pilgrimage in the great Coruña, one of the most emblematic cities of the Community, with a long history linked to the Atlantic, so much so that most of the Nordic, Irish and British pilgrims arrived here on their long Way to Compostela. To meet you will come immense forests of millenary trees and small, almost uninhabited villages that will make you dream of nostalgic times gone by.

Stages of the English Way from A Coruña

Day 1. Arrival in Coruña

Today begins your adventure on the English Way! Coruña will be your starting point, and of course you have a day ahead of you to rest and take advantage of all that Galicia’s second largest city has to offer. As soon as you arrive we recommend that you leave your things in your accommodation, make yourself comfortable and go out to explore the city. Stroll along the Paseo Marítimo a few metres from the beaches of Riazor and Orzán, enjoying the usually raging Atlantic full of surfers. At the end of the walk you will reach the surroundings of the mythical Tower of Hercules, one of the must-see places in this city. On your way you will have passed the Domus, the House of Science of A Coruña, the Museum of Fine Arts or the Aquarium.

If you continue your walk along the legendary fishing quarter of Montealto you will reach the Marina of A Coruña, from where you can enjoy wonderful views of the Castle of San Antón. A few meters away, a beautiful old town, full of galleries and imposing buildings that has as its culmination the great Plaza de María Pita, a symbol of resistance against the French. Nearby you can enjoy the atmosphere of the Rúa Real and its surroundings, a typical area to enjoy spectacular tapas.

Day 2. Stage A Coruña - Sergude (19.7 km)

You will begin the first stage in the Church of Santiago founded at the beginning of the century. XIII. The stage starts in the historic center of the city, which deserves a leisurely visit, from here it continues to Puerta Real and along the Avenida de la Marina with its emblematic galleries dating from the s.. XIX up to Los Cantones. After passing through the Plaza de Cuatro Caminos, you will continue towards Culleredo through the place of O Portazgo, and then continue along the promenade of O Burgo, a much more pleasant and less urban environment where you can see the Romanesque church of Santiago and the mills of the s. XII of Acea de Ama. The route continues through Alvedro, crosses the medieval bridge of A Xira over the river Valiñas and enters the municipality of Cambre.

Further on you will enter the municipality of Carral through the place of San Martín de Tabeaio and you will cross the villages of Corpo Santo and Belvís until you reach your destination: Sergude.

Day 3. Stage Sergude - Hospital de Bruma (23 km)

Unlike the previous day, today the stage runs through a rural and sparsely populated environment. You will cross a small stretch of the neighbouring municipality of Abegondo to get back into the municipality of Carral. Then a short stretch separates us from Mesón do Vento, where the itinerary joins the main road to Ferrol. But be careful, between stretches it stands out for a small slope of 400 meters of unevenness that take us to the plateau of Ordes leaving behind the valley of the river Barcés.

This small ascent will be the prelude to the end of our stage in Bruma, where we can find the past of this route thanks to its old medieval pilgrims’ hospital.

Day 4. Stage Hospital de Bruma - Sigüeiro (25 km)

Today you are on your way to Sigüeiro and Santiago is just a step away. You will visit small villages, most of which have as their “capital” the town of your end of stage, Sigüeiro. Sigüeiro is a small village in the surroundings of Compostela, probably of castreño origin, so you can visit some of its forts in the municipal environment. Today, the best thing to do is to get to know the town, have dinner and go to bed early, to get ready for your last stage.

Day 5. Stage Sigüeiro - Santiago de Compostela (20 km)

Last day of your English Way from Coruña! As we always say the ideal is to get up early to make the most of the day in Santiago de Compostela. Today’s stage will pass super fast between nerves and excitement of the imminent arrival.

You are in Santiago! Feel happy and proud to have completed your English Way from Coruña. Now you just need to rest and get ready to get to know the city. We recommend that upon arrival you enjoy our guided tour of the majestic Cathedral of Compostela.

Day 6. End of the trip

Congratulations! You have completed your English Way from Coruña. This last day you are in charge, you can go back home or enjoy one more day in Santiago. And how beautiful is Compostela.

Did you know that all roads end in Finisterre? If you feel like walking and you have 5 more days, we encourage you to complete the 5 stages that separate Santiago to Finisterre. The most magical and spiritual route that hides real treasures such as Ponte Maceira, one of the most beautiful villages in Spain or the sunset of the Finisterre lighthouse, one of the most beautiful in the world.
