    Coffee in Spain

    Rest assured, they drink coffee in Spain too! As to the finding of it, in fact the daily search for your morning brew borders on a mini pilgrimage in its own right. Just wake, up hit the road & follow the arrows. Like with everything else you need, the Camino delivers.

    Jobs on the Camino

    Hey there Emma - I'd like to hold this thought for a later date if possible - am a chef, based in London, been looking for something like this, just not right now - wondered if we could establish contact & take it from there??

    As I Walked Out One Midsummer Morning

    “I felt it was for this I had come: to wake at dawn on a hillside and look out on a world for which I had no words, to start at the beginning, speechless and without plan, in a place that still had no memories for me.” ― Laurie Lee, As I Walked Out One Midsummer Morning

    The history of food along the Camino:

    thanks also sabinep - as it goes i found that page some time ago & liked it then. the whole idea of gathering & foraging rather appeals, but also it adds another aspect to the journey which appeals to me greatly. out of interest, i've read that in centuries past many of the forests as well as...

    thanx mspath, that looks serious! i look forward to sitting down with notepad & pen...hopefully it survives google translate intact. the codex is on my radar, tho as yet i've not delved. i know there are guidelines offered within its pages. as an aside, there is also a book called 'las cocinas...

    Wild Edible Mushrooms along the Camino

    This year, we found a LOT of chanterelles, not in the Fall (when they grown in Oregon) but in the Spring! It was a great surprise! We also ran across morels (also a spring mushie) exciting...tho as an uninitiated mushroom forager the thought makes me nervous... I'll be camino-ing this spring...

    cocido maragata in astorga...a meal to remember my friend manoleitor, it was his last day & he was on a bus back home to madrid that night. he insisted we eat cocido maragata that day. that meant no breakfast, no churros with our morning coffee, no anything. there would be enough food, he said...

    Food on the Caminos

    great thread...can't resist adding to while many of the menus peregrinos along the camino were average to awful, dry overcooked pasta or deep-fried crumbed somethings with chips, a small departure across to other food selections offered often yielded far better results, usually for only a few...
