Since the times of Thomas Jefferson and Benjamin Franklin, Americans have headed off to Europe on odysseys of self-improvement. But until recently, Americans have not chosen 'the best way'—El Camino de Santiago. Bill Walker ("Skywalker") decided to undertake this 500 mile trek, that stretches from the Pyrenees in southern France to Santiago in Northwest Spain. Better yet, he did it in the ‘Holy Year’ of 2010. Fully 200,000 pilgrims were struggling on foot to make it to the Great Gothic Cathedral in Santiago de Compostela. The Camino is supposed to be a religious-spiritual pilgrimage. But Walker had also been told that it was “The European Divorcee Trail.” At Walker's side was his 18 year-old nephew, Gavin, who thrives with his special brand of Fonzie-like charm. The towel-snapping banter between the two of them is reminiscent of the frat-boy dialogue between Bill Bryson and Katz. Better yet, the two of them learn just how delightful the French really can be (except, of course, when they’re being impossible), why the Germans are almost all model pilgrims, and the tragi-glorious roots of the Spanish national character.

Not always one to finish a book and not a thru hiker, but I've truely enjoyed Bill's books. I find Bill writes with humility as well as taking you on an adventure of discovery of the trail, other people and Bill himself

Nachdem ich bereits Bill Walers Bücher über den Appalachian trail und den Pacific Crest Trail gelesen habe, durfte dieses natürlich auch nicht fehlen. Leider hat es mir nicht ganz so gut gefallen wie die beiden Vorgänger.
Für meinen Geschmack einfach ein bisschen zu viele Auflüge in die Geschichte (Geschichte des Jacobsweges - okay, Geschichte von halb Spanien - na gut, zwischendurch noch fast die Entdeckung Amerikas - hätte ich nicht gebraucht, Templer waren auch noch dran und natürlich auch noch ein bisschen was vom Rest Europas...) Für Amerikaner (der Autor ist US-Amerikaner) bestimmt informativ und interessant, für mich persönlich aber eben ein bisschen zu viel und insgesamt deutlich mehr als beim APT und PCT.
Der sonstige Reisebericht liest sehr sehr gut und ist unterhaltsam wie schon die vom APT und PCT, mit vielen Anekdoten und interessanten Begegnungen, genau wie man es von einem Reisebericht vom Camino erwartet.

-- -- -- --

After reading Bill Walkers book about the Appalachian Trail and the Pacific Coast Trail - and enjoying both - I obviously needed to read this one too. Sadly I didn't like it as much as the other two - not saying I didn'd like it, just not as much.

Mr. Walker gives a lot of historical context, a bit too much for my taste (history of the camino itself - okay, history of spain - nice, history of the knights templar - well, history of the rest of europe...) Maybe that's all informative for someone who hadn't read a book on the camino before (or a history book on europe^^) but it sometimes disrupts the camino-journey-story so much that, at the end of the historic part, I didn't know where he was at that point or what day it was. It somehow didn't give me the impression of a continous journey, but more of a collection of fragments.

Other than that I really liked the book. He has a good way of telling his story and experiences along the way, I enjoyed the anecdotes and encounters with various people from all over europe. It's what you would expect from a journey on the Camino.

(sorry for grammar mistakes and so on^^)

I read this book after reading Bill's first two narratives about the much more difficult and longer hikes of the At and the PCT, and I was actually concerned that he would find this considerably tamer trek too easy to get excited over. Instead, what this book brings is an enthusiasm for the Camino and this part of the world, because of the aspects that are so different to his previous experiences on the long distance American wilderness trails. The history, the pilgrim community, the food that was clearly an improvement on cold trail food... These are all the ingredients that make Bill's love of this walk come alive for me.

The dry, understated exchanges along the way between Bill and his young nephew Gavin add a nice personal element to the narrative.

The format of the narrative is unusual in that the book doesn't end with the completion of the journey, but instead continues into a shorter account of coming back to do it all over again the next year. This sacrificing of conventional epic tale telling, in lieu of a perhaps less sophisticated but ultimately more human account, really adds to the accessible nature of this book for me.

5,0 su 5 stelle I couldnt help but Read this in one sitting...
Recensito nel Regno Unito il 25 maggio 2012

Like the title suggests I read this book in one go, don't let that put you off. It took me 7-8 straight hours! I just couldn't put it down.

One of the things Bill is so good at is noticing and commenting on the complex interrelations of us Europeans. His insights are very interesting and thought provoking. However, this is much more than a history lesson. It's a take on the camino seldom written about successfully. It's about people, their relationships no matter how brief and how people with a common purpose band together to achieve that common purpose. Every person bill introduces us to is an equally important part of his story, in reality without these people and their stories the camino would be nothing more than a bloody long walk. It's the people that put the heart into the camino and Bill really has done a great job of capturing that.

Thanks Bill for your book, a real true to life adventure story. Even with a few pirates thrown in for good measure.
