CELTIC INVASION VACATIONS
Every year, I lead a small group of people on an exciting adventure to one of the Celtic nations and other exciting locations. In 2025, we’re going on a Celtic Invasion of Galicia in Spain. Galicia is indeed one of the more obscure Celtic nations to those of us who are most familiar with Ireland and Scotland.
