What are the Visa requirements for walking the Camino de Santiago?

Schengen Visa

The question was:

I am a US Citizen and a citizen of Ireland and hold passports of both countries. But, my permanent and only residence is in Mexico and I will be flying from Mexico city to Madrid to start my camino. I plan to be in Spain for a maximum of 60 days at which point I will return to Mexico.

Do I need any visa? Which passport should I travel with?

    You can stay for 90 days with your US passport; you can stay forever with your Irish passport. You DON’T need to apply for a visa before you arrive.

    Travel with an Irish passport, that will get you everywhere
