Off the Road: A Modern-Day Walk Down the Pilgrim's Route into Spain by Jack Hitt
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Off the Road is an interesting account of Jack Hitt's walk of the Camino Santiago de Compostela across the north of Spain. Everyone's camino is unique and this author chose to include generous history of the camino, the route, and the ideas and beliefs around it. I believe that this book was partial inspiration for the Emilio Estevez film "The Way" staring Martin Sheen. Lots of history sprinkled with personal anecdote.
