Stages of the English Way from A Coruña
These are the stages of the variant of the English Way from A Coruña:
A Coruña – Sergude (20 km)
Sergude – Bruma (13 km)
Bruma – Sigüeiro (24.2 km)
Sigüeiro – Santiago de Compostela (16.5 km)
Overall, it's a route of low to medium difficulty, ideal for pilgrims with some experience or those who prefer not to accumulate too many days of walking. The most demanding stage is the second, from Sergude to Bruma, due to its gentle but continuous incline. However, it's also the shortest and passes through very pleasant surroundings. A mixed bag.
Who is this variant of the English Way ideal for?
This option is perfect for pilgrims who have limited time but want to experience the full Camino de Santiago, with well-defined stages and arriving in Santiago on foot. A short Camino, but with real substance.
