Featured review
Not a true reflection of Pilgrimage
Lets be honest. This is not really a true reflection of pilgrimage.
The celebrities don't spend each night in albergues or pilgrim accommodation, they dint walk the whole way, the episodes are edited deliberately to fool you into thinking the celebs do the pilgrimage like everyone else.
For instance in the Road to Portugal Ep1 the pilgrims are seen walking the wrong way. They also say that they have a meeting place "just outside Ponte de Lima" when in fact its 10km away and in the morning they just skip to Ponte de Lima so you know they slept somewhere nice off camera and just taxi them to town.
There's no real deep insight into pilgrimage, faith or religion. It's just candy floss watching with uninteresting Z listers. This would be much more endearing with "real" people doing a true pilgrimage.
I wouldn't expect it from the BBC but they aren't the broadcaster they used ti be. If you've never walked a pilgrimage you'll probably enjoy it but this is not a watch for anyone with knowledge of pilgrimage.
