From Clifden to Santiago de Compostela

In a long-held dream, Breandan O Scanaill embarked on a remarkable journey from Clifden to Santiago de Compostela from April to September 2022. This pilgrimage covered an impressive distance of 3,500 km, spanning five countries. Breandan will share his experiences, encounters, and the places he visited during this mostly solo expedition.

The pilgrimage, intentionally unplanned, took unexpected twists and turns, adding to the adventure and personal growth along the way. Breandan, a native of Clifden, holds a deep love for Connemara, gardening, and history. Walking is one of his passions, and this pilgrimage marked his third major journey of its kind. His talk promises to be an engaging exploration of his pilgrimage, enriched by his connection to the land and his previous experiences.
