ACCOMMODATION & DINING
During this tour, you will stay in simple, small family-run hotels and guest houses that have been welcoming walkers of the Camino for many years. All rooms are ensuite, and, typically, in the style of the Camino; accommodations have a great atmosphere as the majority of other guests will be fellow walkers. As this walk is a very busy route, similar accommodations are usually used other than that listed. There is an opportunity to upgrade your accommodation on the last night to the Parador Hotel in the square.
Single Rooms
If you are travelling with family and/or friends but would like single rooms, we would advise booking as soon as your plans are finalised to secure your rooming preferences. Single rooms incur an additional single occupancy fee.
Dining
You will be provided with breakfast each morning. If you have any food allergies or intolerances, please let us know at the time of booking so we can let your hosts know. Should you have severe food allergies, it’s always worth bringing a few of your snacks with you.
You will find many of the accommodations have their own restaurant which serves regional dishes, using local ingredients. Although dinners aren’t included in this tour, dinners can be included each evening as a supplement if you wish. Lunches can be purchased locally – a great part of the experience. You can either order lunch from your accommodation or buy local cheeses and meats along with a wide variety of different breads you will find along the Camino.
GENERAL INFO
AVAILABILITY
This tour is available from the start of March through October. Regardless of when you travel, there are often celebrations along the Camino, specific to the individual towns or regions. From Galician literature festivals through to the nationwide celebrations of Semana Santa, walking the Camino is a colourful experience.
THE WALKING
The 117 km Camino trail from Ferrol is very well-defined for the most part. You will follow an ancient pilgrim trail, and, therefore, sections of the walk will take you deep into the picturesque countryside.
You should be used to walking up to 24 km with up to 500m of ascent and descent. On any typical day, you will hike on rocky trails and farm and forest tracks and cover long sections in the open countryside. You will make sustained climbs to hilltop towns and villages and across the rolling countryside. You will also walk on some roads, so please be mindful of road users at all times.
A moderately active lifestyle makes walking enjoyable: an exercise regime of 2 to 3 times a week, in addition to your usual walks, is needed. The route is very well waymarked by the iconic scallop-shell markers, and with the many other walkers on the trail, it’s very easy to find your way.
For each of the walks, you will be provided with daily walk notes, a map and the GPX tracks if you wish to use them for your device.
WEATHER
The route runs across northern Spain and through a variety of terrain. During the early and latter part of the season, conditions can be changeable from temperate warm days through to frosty mornings and very cool nights. From May to September, rainy days are less frequent and temperatures are steadily between 20-24 degrees, however, it is possible that you may experience a few cloudy days. See weather averages here.
HOW TO GET THERE AND AWAY
The tour starts in Ferrol. The best way to reach Ferrol is by air to Santiago de Compostela, and from there, you can get a bus or train to Ferrol. You can also fly to A Caruno and take a bus or train from there.
If you are in Europe there are many connections by train, including from Madrid and Bilbao.
From Madrid, it is around a 7-hour journey from the main Chamartin train station and an 8-hour journey from Bilbao Station.
INSURANCE
We require that you have adequate travel insurance against potential losses, damage or injury, including cancellation costs and loss of luggage.
For all trips that require international travel, you must have purchased travel insurance that also includes medical evacuation coverage.
We also charge a cancellation fee if you cancel your walking holiday after we have confirmed it to cover costs incurred from our suppliers and in the office. See the FAQ section for more information.
