A day on the Camino Inglés - Stage 14

Today was a bit of walking culture shock.

After a rest day in Ferrol our path west along the coast joined with the first stage of the Camino Inglés. Compared to what we’ve been hiking, the trail is very well marked and there are a lot more accommodations for walkers. And there were walkers.

Since we left Ribadeo we haven’t met a single hiker. We’ve had a couple glimpses of folks in the distance, but we’d never see those people again in town. Today we must have crossed paths with at least two to three dozen. So it’s a different experience entirely. Anne has talked about this before, the people are the reason you walk the Camino, so it’s a cool change in vibe even if it is jarring.

However, it’s going to be short lived. Tomorrow we start making our own path as we head west to Sada.Read more
