"Still in my memory from 30 years ago 'Pilgrim's Road: A Journey to Santiago da Compostela remains as a source of inspiration still. As a young woman Bettina Selby's books helped give me the belief that I could travel alone and made me long to do so. Santiago and the Camino remain on my wish list but still have a pull created by this book. Thinking about my favourite travel books made me realise I have never forgotten this one and the magic of it really igniting my passion for travel."
