Camino Inglés
The English Way (Camino Inglés) is one of the official routes of the Camino de Santiago, historically used by pilgrims from England, Ireland, and Northern Europe.
Pilgrims would arrive by ship at the ports of Ferrol or A Coruña and then continue on foot to Santiago de Compostela.
The route from Ferrol is longer (about 118–120 km), which makes it possible to obtain the Compostela — the official certificate of completion.

Second overnight at the hotel in Santiago de Compostela (optional)
After the intense and emotional days of our journey, in the morning we will allow ourselves to wake up without alarms.
At 11:00 AM we meet at the hotel to go for coffee — a time to share impressions once more, recall bright moments, and exchange contacts.
After breakfast — a final sketch from the café window or the square, taking a piece of Santiago with you on paper.
Then — time to pack and prepare for departure: some will return home, others will continue traveling through Galicia. Some may start the route to Finisterre the next day, while others will stay only one more night in Santiago.
Before parting — a group photo in front of the Cathedral. This moment will become a symbolic point in our shared adventure.

About me
I am an artist and a storyteller. I draw the journey — urban, natural, and inner. My sketches capture moments you want to hold onto: the light on façades, the breeze in the alleys, the breath of the day.
I have been drawing since early childhood, studied architecture, and later earned a degree in art and marketing. Now I live and work on the Costa del Sol, where I lead creative walks and watercolor workshops — combining movement, observation, and drawing into a shared experience.
My sketchwalks are an invitation to slow down, see, feel — and take home a hand-drawn postcard of the moment. Each drawing is a map of presence and emotion.
