Ferrol is a small city located at 50km from A Coruña.
I'm not the best person to talk about Ferrol, but from what i've read it is an important city for Spanish Navy and also because it was here that the dictator Franco was born.
From what i saw, Ferrol was nicer from what i had seen in photos and google street view. Yes, it is a quite old and dark city but we had lucky to see it with a spectacular sunset.
There are many churches and a central park where we have a series of street coffees and plenty of people gathered. Easily we can see the major spots of the city in 2 hours. We weren't running and we saw many things and still had time to initiate the Camino Inglés.
