Off the Road: A Modern-Day Walk Down the Pilgrim's Route Into Spain by Jack Hitt

3.0

Your journey is your journey. Since a few friends and I are walking to Santiago de Compostela in the Spring of 2020 I am enjoying reading about other’s experiences. This one focused on the history of the route and the personal encounters of the author as a pilgrim. There were interesting facts and commentaries. It is unclear to me whether I disagree with his take on things or am just saddened that the religious aspects of the pilgrimage are denounced. Either way, I didn’t like some of what I read about. Since I have yet to experience the walk I will reserve final judgment.

I am anxious to have my own journey to Santiago and appreciate that Hitt gave us more than just a diary of his walk.
