Explore the fascinating historical links between Dublin and the Camino de Santiago in Northern Spain
About this Event
Centred on the ancient parish of St. James in Dublin, travelling pilgrims made the final leg of their journey through the city of Dublin, before embarking on ships to Spain. This route is still in existence today, and fascinating clues in street and placenames, together with bigger artifacts are passed without notice by Dubliners as they go about their daily business and by tourists enroute to Guinness and Kilmainham. This presentation explains these clues, whilst telling the story of the Camino connections in Dublin.
