    Dining at San Martin Pinario

    We enjoyed staying and dining at Hospederia San Martin Pinario in 2019. As we are planning a May walk from Porto to Santiago this year we are finding that San Martin Pinario has only single pilgrim rooms available on our dates. Is it possible to stay elsewhere and still have dinner in the...

    How to cook Spanish tortilla: Salmonella outbreak sparks national debate

    There has been a lot of discussion about the best styles of tortilla in another thread recently. I ate a lot of it - good, bad and just ok - in the last month myself! I just saw this article on the BBC website. I hadn't known that government guidelines for making it were quite so specific...

    Communal dinner in SJPP somewhere that I'm not staying?

    I booked a bed at Gite Makila, but they don't offer dinner. As this will be day 0 for me, I wouldn't mind having some company for dinner. Do any of the gites allow people to join their communal dinner if they aren't staying there? Alternatively, are there some good options for casual places for...

    Jamón Ibérico - worrying news

    This story is in the Guardian today. The change in climate is affecting the availability of acorns and hence the production of jamón ibérico bellota. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/jan/30/spains-prized-jamon-iberico-under-threat-from-climate-crisis

    Food on the Camino, what do you miss?

    During my first Camino I was introduced to the scrumptious tortilla. You know that thing that looked like a pie made with eggs and potatoes. Well today, the Mrs. (@J Willhaus )made one for breakfast. What a delight! What Camino food do you miss?

    Caldo Gallego!

    My latest crop of berza/couve/collard greens for Caldo Gallego - true I should have allowed the leaves to mature a bit more but I cannot wait!

    Menus del dia for less than €10

    I just came across this article in La Voz de Galicia. I thought it might interest folks when they arrive at Santiago, shocked by how expensive most things have gotten. Inflation and the general cost of living has indeed increased, and not only in our home towns and countries. It is a global...

    Lunch at Michelin Star Restaurants along the Camino: Pilgrim-friendly Attire Tips

    I would love to try a Michelin Star restaurant (or 2) for lunch along the camino. There are numerous posts listings the locations. Like many pilgrims, I will be carrying all of my attire in my pack and do not wish to be the ugly American. How do the Chefs and locals feel about pilgrims in...

    Bread Options?

    I have to confess, that I love the Spanish bread. The while fluffy stuff that is not unlike French Bread. OK a different shape.... In the past, I have eaten far too much of it though. I'm 'trying' to be a bit more health conscious these days. And steadily losing some excess weight prior to my...

    Restaurants in Le Puy

    In the Cicerone guidebook by Whitson I don’t see any mention of restaurants in Le Puy. Not even by symbol on the map for Le Puy. What restaurants are there in Le Puy? Also, does Miam Miam Dodo provide info on restaurants?

    Restaurants in Santiago post covid-lockdown

    With apologies to @JLV, whose thread I have now closed, let’s start a new Santiago restaurant thread. Any accurate information about your favorite places in Santiago is most welcome — as I noted in my earlier post, two of my favorites, Bodeguilla de San Roque and Dezaseis, are now both...

    Names of larger supermarket chains in Southern England, France, and Switzerland

    I have decided to do the Via Francigena this summer from Canterbury to St Bernard's pass. I have special dietary needs and found it was easier to shop in the bigger supermarket chains on both of my Caminos, as well as during other travels in Europe. I do love to visit the local markets too - but...

    Wine geeks on Camino

    Yeah, I’m a bit of a fan and I’ll admit that being in wine country is one of the motivations about doing the CF next spring. Obviously we cut right through Rioja country and I’m a major fan of Galician Albariño. Nice. My question is: are there any particular wine bars and/or local varieties of...

    Parador resumes the “free meal” tradition

    The parador will once again offer a free lunch to the first ten pilgrims who arrive at the pilgrim’s office. The practice had been suspended due to covid. I know that in the past some have said the meals were served in the staff kitchen, but according to the article, the meal will now be served...
