It emerged in the 12th century as an alternative to the French Way. This route combines a maritime section used by pilgrims from Northern Europe (English, Irish, Nordic, etc.) to avoid inland routes during dangerous periods. It is a mixed route (maritime and inland) that, once the French Way became established as the main pilgrimage route, lost importance but has been revived in recent years and is now walked by many pilgrims. It is an uncrowded route that can be enjoyed at a leisurely pace, offering landscapes that combine sea and countryside, medieval towns, and Galician villages. Therefore, the English Way of pilgrimage to Santiago starts in Ferrol, crosses the Eume region, and reaches Betanzos. This stage is rich in scenic and heritage resources.
