Day 0. Ferrol
Arrived to Ferrol on a bus from Madrid. Surprisingly tired after sitting on my butt for 8 hours. Ferrol is spacious, quiet and seems at […]
Day 1. Ferrol – Pontedeume
The first day puts us right back into the Camino mode, it's a long stage, some guides break it in two short ones. It starts […]
Day 2. Pontedeume – Betanzos
