Description
Walking With Butterflies is a snapshot in time of the thoughts, experiences and people Darren Fletcher met as he completed the historic 800km Camino Francés pilgrimage.
Starting by train from his local station in London, to St Jean Pied de Port via Bayonne, and to the hard days crossing the Pyrenees, get a flavour of the camaraderie of fellow pilgrims, hospitaleros and the different types of accommodation Darren experienced on his journey.
Between the towns, villages, coffee stops, and churches, Darren learnt about what brought other pilgrims to the Camino, as well as reflecting on walking as a celebration, both of his life so far and the happiness of those he encountered.

This book is an account of a man who is haciendo un camino, as I wish to do because I have several ancestors buried in the cathedral at Santiago de Compostela. This is a very detailed and day-by-day personal account rather than a how-to book, although it has some good tips.
Readers looking to get a taste of the international friendships to be made on the Camino will enjoy this, as will those who hope to get an idea of the terrain that they will be crossing. I plan to start at Sarria and picked up several tips. on what to expect.
I do have a problem with the book. If the author is trying to demonstrate the international friendships to be found on the trail, why did he then start spouting political ideology about, for instance, white supremacy and the (inaccurate) view of American politics? Of course he can say what he wants, it's his book, but he might keep in mind that there was no reason to inject this and it might turn off several readers.
