Hey Mike, first of all have a wonderful camino. an above mentioned link 'Vegetarian albergues/restaurants on the Camino Frances' has some good information. Some of it is a few years old but still useful. I'm a vegetarian and I began my Camino with some nuts, seeds, dried fruit, home made muesli...

Ah Bed Bugs. I walked last Setp/Oct and was very fortunate not to encounter any bed bugs. However, I new a number of people who had been bitten by these critters at various times and at various places and they were not very happy about it. I do not like using pesticides so I tried using Lavender...

Thank you to everyone contributing to this page. You all have been very helpful. Has anyone tried growing sprouts while hiking? I plan to start in september hoping to enjoy the harvest. I figure it's my best option as a vegetarian. The book Fabio mentioned sounds good but I don't speak Italian...
Thank you for the info. I'm a vegetarian and limit my egg, fish and cheese consumption. I plan on walking in september/october. Protein is a big issue so i'll be looking for beans, rice and fresh greens. I'm hoping to grow my own sprouts as I walk. I have had success with that hiking. If anyone...
