Episode 110 - It's Called the Celtic Camino

Sure, you might have heard of the Camino Inglés, which has two possible starting points, in Ferrol and A Coruña. Ask an Irish pilgrim about that walk from A Coruña, though, and you're likely to hear a different name for it: the Celtic Camino. And there's a lot more to it than just those 75 kilometers. Back on the island, Irish pilgrims are hard at work developing and recovering a booming network of short pilgrimages that feed into A Coruña, allowing walkers to hit that 100km requirement to earn their Compostela in Santiago, while also tapping into Ireland's own rich pilgrimage history. In this episode, Michael Walsh of the Camino Society Ireland (www.caminosociety.ie) discusses the nine routes currently available in Ireland as part of the Celtic Camino initiative, while Ingrid Boyle takes us deeper into one of those--the Kerry Camino (www.kerrycamino.com) on the Dingle Peninsula. Available on Apple, Spotify, and Youtube. For more information on The Camino Podcast: www.davewhitson.com www.facebook.com/CaminoPodcast www.patreon.com/davewhitson
