Throughout the 122 kms leading from Ferrol to Santiago we will make one of the most international routes among all the Jacobean routes.
How can I understand this map of the English Way better?

It doesn’t have big slopes, except for some punctual as in Pontedeume, so you won’t have any problem to finish it.
