Welcome to Clearskies Camino!
Hi. I’m David and you are very welcome to the Clearskies Camino blog. I live in Dublin, Ireland. This blog is about the Camino de Santiago and pilgrimage in general.
I first walked the Camino Francés from Sarria to Santiago de Compostela in June 2011 and it left a lasting impression on me. So much so that I wanted to return the following year!
Clearskies Camino began in June 2012 following my walk from Astorga to Sarria. I had been keeping a journal and taking photos and it only made sense to post what I had written online when I returned home. And so I did!
As the Camino de Santiago slowly became more and more a part of my life so did the urge to give something back. And through the years, the Camino has taught me to be happy with what I have. Gratitude is a big part of my life now!
The Camino de Santiago is a pilgrimage but in my eyes, it is so much more. It is a great way of meeting people and a great way of getting away from the hustle and bustle of modern-day life. There are many Caminos to Santiago from all across Europe, but my experiences have mainly been on the Caminos in Spain and Portugal, ending at the shrine of St. James in the city of Santiago de Compostela in Galicia.
I want to thank each and every reader for visiting the blog, whether you have walked the Camino de Santiago or not. I would love it if you could say hi after you finish reading. Tell me where you are from and what interested you most.
