Stepping onto the Camino Inglés, you enter a realm where history and nature intertwine. Beginning in the maritime city of Ferrol, this route, tracing back to the 12th century, has been a beacon for pilgrims from Britain, Scandinavia, and beyond.
As you traverse this historic route, you'll be greeted by the picturesque views of the Tambre River, the welcoming shade of the forested paths, and the charm of rural Galician villages.
Historical gems like the medieval bridge of As Casca, the abandoned hermitage of San Paio, and the ancient village of Bruma serve as milestones, offering glimpses into a past that has shaped the present.
Nowadays, Camino Inglés has been reimagined as a concise alternative to the traditional Camino Frances. Historically vital for English and Irish pilgrims, this route remains a testament to the enduring spirit of pilgrimage.

We had a lovely hike today with our guide Klemen. He personalized the tour on our needs and interests, so that we saw places we wouldn't without his experience. The hike was a little bit slippery after the rain from the last days and it went a lot upwards, but it was totally worth it! Thanks again :)


We had an incredible trek! The itinerary was exactly what we wanted, communication was excellent with the company. They were so helpful throughout the planning process and when we were in country. Slovenia exceeded our expectations. We can't recommend them enough!
We had an incredible experience booking our Dolomites hiking adventure through Hut-To-Hut Hiking Dolomites (one of the many companies operated through World Discovery). Traveling all the way from Hawai‘i, we were initially a bit hesitant about booking with a company based in Slovenia, but everything was flawless. Even factoring in the 12 hour time difference between Hawai'i and Europe, their communication was fast and professional. The planning materials were thorough and incredibly helpful including detailed daily hiking routes, suggested scenic stops and snack breaks at rifugios along the way, an app with offline downloadable maps customized to our routes, and clear hiking and safety guides. Every rifugio they booked for us was fantastic: clean, welcoming, well-located, and full of charm. They booked us at a 5-star hotel for the last night and the spa treatments were heavenly after days of hiking. The post-hike airport transportation was seamless, and we were especially grateful to have their help booking so close to peak summer season. There’s no way we could have secured such great rifugios on our own, each one they chose was a highlight. We felt fully supported throughout the trip, even though it was self-guided. They provide a 24/7 Whatsapp number which was nice to have in case of emergencies. We highly recommend Hut-To-Hut Hiking Dolomites for anyone looking to hike the Dolomites without the stress of figuring out all the logistics yourself. Would book with them again in a heartbeat.
