Seven people living in the public eye say goodbye to their hectic lives, don backpacks and walking boots and set out on the famous Camino de Santiago pilgrimage. They have only 15 days to tackle this ancient 780km path across northern Spain to the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela and the shrine of St James. But will this journey of a lifetime change the way they think about themselves and their faith, does a medieval pilgrimage have any relevance in the modern day? \n\nActor Neil Morrissey, entertainer Debbie McGee, comedian Ed Byrne, singer Heather Small, priest Kate Bottley, journalist Raphael Rowe and TV presenter JJ Chalmers live as modern-day pilgrims, staying in basic hostels and often sleeping in dormitories, on bunkbeds. Pilgrims who walk all of the Camino, take at least a month. But with just over two weeks on the road, the seven are travelling some of the route by minibus, until they reach the final 100km, when they will walk every step of the way.\n\nIn this second episode, our seven celebrities travel from the region of Navarre to the start of the final 100km in Galicia. In Irache, to their great delight, Neil, JJ and Kate come across a fountain of wine, where thirsty pilgrims can drink straight from the tap. One hundred litres of wine a day are supplied free by a local vineyard, and priest Kate, who struggled through the Pyrenees, celebrates this kind of charity as a spiritual moment. She dismisses the notion that through pain comes a better understanding of God, and that self-denial is the way to salvation.
