With hundreds of Irish pilgrims currently travelling with Uwalk.ie on both the French and Portuguese Camino routes, the company has boots on the ground, with staff based in Spain actively monitoring the situation and keeping in close contact with travellers.
“We are here on the ground and actively supporting our customers every step of the way,” said Martin Skelly, CEO of Uwalk.ie and Navan Travel. “Our team is in constant communication with local partners and authorities. All of our groups are safe, and their itineraries remain unaffected.”
Uwalk.ie, an award winning Irish tour operator, has more than 50 years’ experience in the Irish travel industry and operates over 16 Camino and walking routes across Spain, Portugal and Europe. With offices in Ireland and Santiago, the company specialises in tailor-made walking holidays for Irish travellers, with 24/7 local support and experienced guides.
Uwalk’s CEO, Martin Skelly, is available for live media interviews from the Camino to provide updates on conditions, safety, and the real-time experience of Irish pilgrims continuing their journey to Santiago de Compostela.
“It’s important that Irish travellers and their families know we are here, we are well prepared, and we are looking after everyone on the Camino,” said Martin Skelly. “We’re happy to speak to media and provide updates as needed.”
