The short branch of the Camino Inglés starts at the church of Santiago in A Coruña. After the urban exit, a long, steady climb through hamlets and woodland to Hospital de Bruma, where it meets the route from Ferrol. On foot from A Coruña you do not reach 100 km, so on its own it does not qualify for the Compostela.
