Information
This day, in general, is comfortable and pleasant. The main difficulty lies in the great slope that you will find at the exit of Pontedeume, after which, the sea will accompany you for almost the entire route to Betanzos, giving you beautiful panoramic views and pleasant beaches where you can take a dip.
The end of this stage is a historic village, where you can relax walking through the most interesting medieval old town in Galicia and tasting its famous potato omelette.
This stage is part of the The English Way. Would you like to walk it with your accommodation already booked? These organised trips include it: English Way from Ferrol.
You start with the toughest climb of the English Way: two demanding kilometres out of Pontedeume that call for patience. At the top comes the reward, with great views and eucalyptus forests. You pass through Miño, with its ría and beaches —if the weather's good, a dip is in order—, and get over the Matacabalos rise before entering Betanzos via the Ponte Vella over the río Mandeo. Welcome to the city of the knights.
