An Irish charity has given pilgrims the opportunity to take part in a virtual Camino to help raise money to assist those suffering from homelessness.
Focus Ireland launched their virtual walk due to the coronavirus pandemic.
The charity said online: “This year due to Covid-19, we may not be able to go on our annual Camino fundraising trip, which will be a huge loss of income to Focus Ireland. So we have developed this virtual walk for the last section of the French way into Santiago, which you can do here on Irish soil while getting a clear insight into the route and all it has to offer.
Updates
Those who sign up can log how far they’ve walked online. Those interested can find out more at https://virtualcamino.focusireland.ie/
“As you log your distance, you will receive updates about the towns you are approaching, walking notes, recipes for typical foods in the area, recommended books to read on the Camino, films, podcasts and playlists to keep you in the Camino spirit!” Focus Ireland said.
