VISIT FERROL
VISIT FERROL
Ferrol offers the visitor a permanent succession of contrasts: medieval layouts with narrow streets and houses with galleries facing imposing military constructions, together with beaches open to the ocean between fortified castles overlooking the estuary. A unique experience that awakens the senses of its visitors.
Its architecture, its cultural offer, the natural environment, the richness of its gastronomy, among others, make Ferrol an outstanding tourist destination.
Opposite the sports dock is the start of the English Way to Santiago de Compostela, a short but intense route that offers the traveller a whole experience.
Ferrol also has a unique heritage of the Enlightenment, which aspires to be a World Heritage Site, the best Easter Week in Galicia (declared to be of international tourist interest), the Modernism Route, a first class shipbuilding industry and much more.
MILITARY ARSENAL
The Military Arsenal of Ferrol is an arsenal and naval base of great importance, built with the intention of developing Philip V’s naval policy. It has been declared Asset of Cultural Interest.
SHIPBUILDING MUSEUM
This is the main Spanish maritime museum dedicated to shipbuilding. It is also remarkable for the beauty of its interior, an 18th century industrial building. The museum offers a tour of the various shipbuilding techniques and their evolution over the centuries.
SAN FELIPE CASTLE
16th century’s San Felipe castle is an ancient military fortress. Opposite this castle are the castles of La Palma and San Martín. Between these, a thick chain was stretched across the sea, which prevented enemy ships from entering the Ferrol estuary.
THE ENGLISH WAY
The port of Ferrol is the starting point of the English Way to Santiago de Compostela. This pilgrimage route is 110 kilometres long and offers the traveller a short but intense journey through unique landscapes and natural surroundings.
EASTER WEEK
Ferrol’s Easter Week is the set of events commemorating the Passion of Christ. Its first documentary reference dates back to 1616. In 2014, it was awarded the distinction of Festival of International Tourist Interest.
ARCHITECTURE
A tour through the modernist style buildings of the district of A Magdalena, declared a Historic-Artistic Site in 1983, it’s an ideal plan to rediscover the most unique corners of Ferrol.
