Camino Ingles is the route that the pilgrims coming from Great Britain and the northern countries in Europe, like Norway, normally would use when they were going to Santiago de Compostela on a pilgrimage. They then come across the sea to either A Coruna or Ferrol and for them the hardest and toughest part of the journey would likely be over when they made landfall in mentionied cities to continue their walk on foot. The English Way is also given its name since it was the route that the English soldiers used when the ran from Napoleon's forces. From A Coruna there are 73km to Santiago, which makes the pilgrims walking from here not qualified for the Compostela. The normal point to start from is therefore Ferrol, where there are 119km to the Praza do Obradoiro.
Camino Muxia is a variant of Camino Finisterre, where you instead of walking to Finisterre choose to go to Muxia. As it is for Camino Finistere you walk on this trail with the cathedral in Santiago de Compostela at your back. The routes separates at Hospital. The trail is about 84km long and ends at the church of Santuario de la Virgen de La Barca which is situated with the ocean at its front doors.
In the Summer of 2016, I travelled to Spain to walk the Camino Inglés and Camino Muxia, this is my story from the Camino.
