Review # 1 was written on 2016-10-02 00:00:00 Brandon Scroggins I have now read a few books on the Camino de Santiago, and still my fascination continues. Bettina Selby is an engaging, honest, insightful and knowledgeable commentator, and the reader is carried away on her bicycle 'pilgrimage', sharing her highs and lows. I further liked the fact that Bettina is obviously Christian, but does seek to proselytize. Must say I also share her astonishment, when during a service along her journey, non-Catholics were allowed to share in the Holy Communion, in Spain, a supposedly 'strict' Catholic country. I enjoyed this read.

Review # 2 was written on 2015-02-22 00:00:00 John Chesser One of my themes for 2018 was to take in as much travel writing by women writers as possible. Bettina Selby's book "Pilgrim's Road: A Journey to Santiago d Compostela" entered my reading list and I found her travel log an enjoyable read. Ms. Selby traveled by Bicycle along this historic pilgrimage trail, and her adventures of trying to find any church open, as well as the weather, made for an enjoyable escape. You will struggle to find a more earnest account of this pilgrimage.
