It’s Saturday & Some News I need to talk about…
First of all I need to apologise for the delay in posting. With my time dedicated to work from Monday to Friday, I don't have a lot of time for writing however I do try to write during the weekends or during the evenings. Last week, I had a nice easy walk, nothing too strenuous, …

Some News
We interrupt my Camino Inglés updates with some news. Some good, some indifferent. Camino Society Ireland newsletter - Shamrocks and Shells has been updated just recently. It has lots of news that you might find interesting. Being editor of this newsletter is a good way to give back to the Camino and kind of helps …

The Camino de Santiago goes on and on…
La Voz de Galicia published an article online detailing new figures released from the Pilgrims Office in Santiago. Predictably, the total number of compostelas issued to pilgrims in 2016 has already surpassed those issued to pilgrims in the whole of 2015. We are also stepping into unknown territory also, as we are close to "Holy …

I went along to a talk given by Turlough of Donnell of the Irish Camino Society entitled "The Irish and the Camino de Santiago: 800 Years of History" as part of the Dublin History Festival.
