Childaid’s mission is the eradication of extreme poverty, disease and hunger for children in the developing world, while ensuring that each child has the essential means to a productive life.
The Camino Inglés, from Ferrol to Santiago, is often referred to as the English Way, and it has deep historical roots. It was the traditional choice for pilgrims from the British Isles and Ireland heading to Santiago de Compostela. These travellers would land by boat and continue their journey on foot to the famous cathedral of Santiago.
Childaid.ie are organising their 1st CAMINO Ingles Way trek for 2026.
The English Way or Camino Inglés (Galician: Camiño Inglés and Spanish: Camino Inglés) is one of the paths of the Camino de Santiago. The Spanish section begins in the Galician port cities of Ferrol (110 kilometres or 68 miles) or A Coruña (75 kilometres or 47 miles), with multiple additional sections in the UK and Ireland, and continues south to Santiago de Compostela.
