The Camino Voyage

A crew including a writer (Danny Sheehy, 1951-2017), two musicians (Glen Hansard & Brendan Begley), a stonemason (Brendan Moriarty) and an artist (Liam Holden) embark on the Camino by sea – a 2500km sea voyage from Ireland to Northern Spain.

For hundreds of years people sailed from Ireland to A Coruña in Northern Spain and walked the camino to Santiago de Compostela from there. In 2014 this inspiring crew began their own version of this historical voyage in their own handmade traditional boat, called a ‘Naomhóg’. 

This intimate documentary charts the trials and tribulations of a voyage that in the words of Danny Sheehy, took “sweat, blood and blisters to complete while deepening and renewing friendships, creativity and spirituality in the process”. 

Tabharfaidh an file Domhnaill Mac Síthigh (1951 -2017), na ceoltóirí Glen Hansard agus Breanndán Ó Beaglaoich, an saor cloiche Breanndán Ó Muircheartaigh chomh maith leis an ealaíontóir Liam Holden thuras an Camino – turas farraige 2,500KM as Éirinn go Tuaisceart na Spáinne.

Ar feadh na gcéadta bliain sheol daoine ó Éirinn go dtí A Coruña i dTuaisceart na Spáinne, nó gur shiúil siad an camino as sin ar aghaidh go Santiago de Compostela. Sa bhliain 2014, thosaigh criú misniúil ar a leagan féin den turas stairiúil seo i Naomhóg, bád traidisiúnta a bhí lámhdhéanta acu féin.

Rianaíonn an scannán faisnéise dlúthphearsanta seo cora casta turais farraige, ar theastaigh, i bhfocail Dhomhnaill Mhic Shíthigh, “allas, fuil, agus balscóidí lena chur i gcrích, ach a neartaigh agus a d’athnuaigh cairdeas le daoine ar feadh an ama, agus cruthaitheacht agus spioradáltacht chomh maith céanna”.
