I was not sure what to expect when I started to read Behind the Albergue Door, I have never read a travel guide. Gladly, I found it to be funny and interesting as well as it being full of useful information about the Camino de Santiago pilgrimage. The book is entertaining and educating at the same time.Anyone preparing for the 800 kilometre hike will find this book useful. The book covers the 35 day trek, including everything from blisters, fatigue, camaraderie, communal living (and the snoring), and how to prepare for every event.I've never hiked the Camino de Santiago, and probably never will, I like my comforts too much! But for those of you thinking about the pilgrimage you would gain great insight from this book.The author has a very unique sense of humour; even the most mundane details of this trek came across as hilarious.
