Several threads about good food and wine along the Camino have opened lively discussions.
While peregrinos are commonly known as a frugal specie, there are many who would love to combine their camino with the exploration of Spain’s rich culinary culture and diversity in great wines. A CGG would not only be helpful but very popular for sure.
What would be a practical approach to create such a guide? It should be….
- up-to-date and easily accessible (No better place than this forum to embed it, what do you think, Ivar?)
- reliable and contributed by bona-fide peregrinos (forum-members?)
Similarly to the Michelin guide, it should contain a simple classification, like….
- one «pilgrim-staff» (PG) = tasty, seasonal freshly cooked local specialities, good selection of local wines, «worth-while to make a stop»
- two PG’s = above average, aspirational, regional cuisine, interesting wine list, «worth-while a small detour»
- three PG’s = a «must» on the camino, featuring the very best of regional haute cuisine, exquisite wines, «worth-while to do the camino again»
- ex category, no classification (something like the Michelin BIP) = best peregrino menu, with fresh vegetables, agreeable table wine
Please contribute your ideas, suggestions regarding the criteria of classification, etc.
