Welcome!

My name is David Smith, I am from Dublin, Ireland and Welcome to Clearskies Camino.

I am a pilgrim and this is a blog about my experiences on the Camino de Santiago – from the planning right through to my times on the Camino itself. I walked my first Camino in June 2011 and since then, I return each year to Spain or Portugal to follow the arrows westward. I love to tell my stories about the Way whether they be about Preparation, my experiences from the trail or sharing between fellow pilgrims.

On Clearskies Camino, you can view a lengthy list of links for budding pilgrims – these resources *still* help me as I plan my Caminos each year. You can also find up to 80 videos related to the Camino de Santiago in my Weekend Watch section. These are not my own but are freely found on YouTube. I am very much about reaching out and meeting other pilgrims so if you are dropping by, say hello, let me know where you came from, I’d love to hear from you!
