\"camino\"Cuenta la leyenda que junto a St. James\u2019s Gate (Dubl\u00edn), la Puerta de Santiago, durante la Edad Media se situaba un pozo de agua sagrado en honor al Ap\u00f3stol Santiago. Hoy en d\u00eda, no se conserva el pozo pero s\u00ed la Puerta de Santiago, la cual era una de las principales entradas que daban acceso a la ciudad. Y es que siempre ha existido cierta conexi\u00f3n entre Irlanda y Espa\u00f1a, siendo uno de sus principales puntos de encuentro la religi\u00f3n y, en particular, la devoci\u00f3n por Santiago.<\/p>\n

As\u00ed pues, durante la Edad Media eran muchos los irlandeses que se un\u00edan a la multitud de peregrinos procedentes de toda Europa que acud\u00edan al Camino de Santiago. La mayor parte de los peregrinos irlandeses comenzaban el recorrido desde sus ciudades hacia los puertos de Galway, Kinsale y Dubl\u00edn, desde donde se aventuraban al mar, tal y como explica el libro Los caminos de la mar a Santiago de Compostela<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Normalmente, los barcos que sal\u00edan desde Irlanda con destino a la Pen\u00ednsula Ib\u00e9rica, desembarcaban en los puertos de La Coru\u00f1a y Ferrol, aunque algunos irlandeses part\u00edan desde Dubl\u00edn para continuar la peregrinaci\u00f3n a trav\u00e9s del Camino Ingl\u00e9s, para el cual sol\u00edan dirigirse hacia Londres, Oxford, Brighton o Canterbury.<\/p>\n

Hoy en d\u00eda, Irlanda es el 6\u00ba pa\u00eds con mayor n\u00famero de peregrinos en el Camino de Santiago<\/a>,\u00a0y seg\u00fan la estad\u00edstica, en los \u00faltimos doce a\u00f1os la suma de peregrinos irlandeses se ha multiplicado por siete. Adem\u00e1s de ello, seguimos encontrando peregrinos que comienzan el camino desde Irlanda, y en concreto desde Dubl\u00edn, en la cervecer\u00eda de St. James\u2019s Gate, Puerta de Santiago, desde la cual, tal y como mencion\u00e1bamos en nuestras redes sociales, es a\u00fan posible sellar el \u201cpasaporte\u201d que da acceso a la antigua ruta de peregrinaci\u00f3n.<\/p>\n

As\u00ed que si a\u00fan est\u00e1s pensando qu\u00e9 hacer en tus vacaciones, la visita al Camino de Santiago puede ser sin ninguna duda una gran opci\u00f3n\u2026 \u00bfTe animas?<\/p>\n

According to legend, during the Middles Ages, near St. James\u2019s Gate (Dublin), there was a holy well in honor of the apostle St. James. Nowadays, the well has not been preserved but we still can see St. James\u2019s Gate which was one of the main entrances of the city. In fact, there has always been a connection between Ireland and Spain, and both of them share a common devotion for the Catholic religion and concretely for St. James.<\/span><\/p>\n

Thus, in The Middles Ages there were a lot of Irish people who joined the crowd of devotees from different Europeans countries to Santiago de Compostela. The majority of Irish pilgrims used to start the walking from their cities to the ports of Galway, Kinsale or Dublin, and from there they ventured to the Sea to Santiago de Compostela.<\/span><\/p>\n

Usually, the boats which left from Ireland to the Iberian Peninsula disembarked at the ports of La Coru\u00f1a and Ferrol, even though some Irish pilgrims preferred to leave from Dublin to continue the pilgrimage through the English Way, to London, Oxford, Brighton or Canterbury.<\/span><\/p>\n

Nowadays, Ireland is the sixth most popular nationality on the Camino de Santiago<\/a>, and according to statistics, in the last twelve years the sum of Irish pilgrims has multiplied seven times. In addition, currently there are some pilgrims who start the Way from Ireland, specifically from Dublin, and in St. James\u2019s Gate Pub it is still possible to get the first stamp in the Way of St. James passport.<\/span><\/p>\n

Therefore, if you are still thinking about what to do on holidays, the Way of St. James could be a great option\u2026 Are you up for it?<\/span><\/p>\n
