Is it possible to pay for a meal at an albergue you're not staying at?

Just to follow up, I emailed them and they said it would be fine so long as I booked it before 6pm. Seems the Ogi Berri cafe in Zubiri also cater to vegetarian/vegan too so Zubiri's already looking like a good stop.

I must have been lucky with the albergues I stayed at but I wholeheartedly agree about the breakfasts. After the first couple of days of paying for old bread, jam, and weak coffee I just went out and walked till I found a cafe.

Thanks guys, I'll pop in and ask when I get there. Walked from Logrono to Leon last year and mostly ate where I stayed barring the odd day here and there but I booked a place for Zubiri and only belatedly realised it didn't do meals, only breakfasts. Thanks again.

Being a vegetarian I like to plan ahead a little bit where my next meal is concerned. I notice that Albergue El Palo de Avellano in Zubiri is meant to do a nice vegetarian pilgrim's meal but I've booked a room in a different albergue for the night that doesn't do evening meals. Do albergues only...

Thanks @Albertagirl I'll give it a go, otherwise I'll probably go for Viatoris.

Does anyone have a working email for this Albergue? I don't speak much Spanish so would find using the phone a bit daunting, and the contact form on their website doesn't work. Thanks in advance for any help, Michio
