So pilgrimage holidays are becoming hugely popular again with Irish travellers from Lourdes to Medjugorje and the Camino routes across Spain.

Well, our intrepid travel reporter Ed Finn from Ed Finn Travels is this morning in a place that I have to admit I'd never even heard of before.

Covadonga in Asturias in northern Spain.

Hello, Ed.

What's it like there?

So are you in northern Spain then, as you talked to us this morning?

And are you coastal northern Spain, out by the west or where are you?

So if you were to do this as a pilgrimage and walk the whole thing, you'd be looking at booking two weeks there, would you?

And you say that there is an increase in interest and popularity when it comes to this type of a holiday.

Watch out for those colours now.

We want you to come back to us.

Listen, you mentioned the driver and the luggage and all of that.

Are most people who are on this pilgrimage, are they doing it as an organised tour like that where they have somebody bringing their stuff for them and they know exactly where they're going and all of this?

Watch out for those bears now, Ed, and mind yourself, we'll see you when you're back.
