Tuesday in Ferrol

This morning, Tues, July 2, we left Santiago de Compostela and took the bus to Ferrol. The Camino inglés / English route officially starts here in Ferrol. We walked to the Hotel Suizo from the station, dropped our packs, and then walked all over the city for six hours.

It has a naval presence and is a quiet city with very friendly people. Fishiing is a major occupation and there's lots of activity along the waterfront, reminding me a bit of a big Portland.

So much to write. but it's almost 1 a.m. and am still not quite over jet lag. Tomorrow we start hiking the Camino Inglés and we plan to leave at 8 a.m., early for Spanish standards.

Some photos from today...
