St James's Gate - Guinness

The Camino de Santiago and Guinness?

We already knew that Waterford in Ireland is a part of the Camino de Santiago. But did you know that going to Guinness Storehouse it’s also a part of the Camino de Santiago?

You get your first Camino stamps on Celtics Camino, like the Waterford. And once you complete that go to Dublin at the Camino Society 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

St Jame’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 Age, 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.
