We already knew that Waterford in Ireland is a part of the Camino de Santiago. But did you know that going to Guinness Storehouse is also a part of the Camino de Santiago?
You get your first Camino stamps on Celtic Camino, like Waterford. And once you complete that go to the Camino Society in Dublin to have it validated.
Once you’re in Dublin to validate your stamp, don’t miss the St James’s gate, adjacent to the Guinness brewery door!
History of St James’s Gate and Guinness
St James’s gate is the home of the Guinness Storehouse. This gate is the main attraction and symbol of Guinness. During the Middle Ages, many pilgrims were attracted to the gate for religious reasons and to start their pilgrimage. Nowadays it remains the most popular tourist attraction because of the Guinness Storehouse.
Before Going to the Camino Society to get your stamps validated, you may want to go to the Guinness Storehouse? It’s unbelievable but yes, you can have your pilgrim passport stamped by Guinness! A fun story to tell your family and friends about!
