🎥In this video:

  • Why I chose the Camino Inglés—and why I didn’t start in A Coruña

  • The fascinating history of Ferrol: Spanish Navy base, seafood haven, street art hotspot, and birthplace of Franco

  • My first day’s walk: 15 km along the water, past military buildings, with the perfect walking weather

  • What it’s like to stay in a restored 16th-century property overlooking the harbor

  • How to get your pilgrim credential in Ferrol—and why lunch matters more than dinner in Spain

  • Memorable pilgrim encounters: from fresh plums to an Argentinian Navy ship visit

  • The mix of people you’ll meet on the Camino—and why quieter routes can make Spanish skills more important

  • Why local bars are about more than beer (hint: community and coffee!)

  • My daily livestream schedule—and a sneak peek at next week’s guest, a Spanish teacher for pilgrims
