So at home I don’t even drink coffee. I also rarely rise early… but on the Camino, well, it’s different.
I look forward to the myriad of better suggestions surely/maybe to follow.
So back in 2005 my mother introduced me to Cafe con Leche. It’s now a Camino staple for me. I look forward to...
So over the years the food has gotten better. I remember asking for ketchup and being served tomato soup.
Nowadays ketchup is readily available for your fries, those come with every meal btw.
Now if you walk into a random bar for lunch, and order a bocadillo (sandwich) it’s gonna be dry. I...
As we start to see more peregrinos/as determinedly hiking along the caminho downhill from us, and as we spend some weeks here in rural Portugal, it occurs to me that definitely, eating as a vegetarian, for a traveller in rural Portuga,l is a challenge. This is a meat-friendly country. The...
I will start April 3rd in Arles and go all the way to Puente la Reina. If I can stick to my plan it will take 46 days. I used Miam Miam Dodo and Gronze in order to check for Restaurants and Shops on the way. So on some days it will be lonesome and not much to buy. Any hints about if I should...
I’ve done a search but can’t find anything, so please point me to a thread if there is one.
We are 6 people, 3 of whom are vegetarians (no meat or chicken).
Our gite does not provide supper, but we can cook our own there if we want to.
Suggestions please!
Is there any restaurant in St...
Hello all!
I'm considering walking my first Camino this year, walking the French way in June. In November 2021 I had weight loss surgery and afterwards lost over 60 kilos. I have about 30 more to lose and still going!
I'm not at all worried about whether I can physically do the Camino as I can...
Those of you who walked the Camino Frances this past year, did you find any Albergues or hostels that provided food and or breakfast? I’d love to hear your experiences.
It's midwinter and 13F (-10C) this morning is Laramie, WY, USA. I have a hankering for Caldo Gallego or at least the closest I can come given limitations on ingredients. I am using a half pound of soaked white beans, about 1 cup of ham drippings (frozen leftovers poured off a baked ham from a...
This question is getting into the real minutiae I realize, but I'm curious so I thought I'd ask...
Am I correct that fresh squeezed orange juice is a thing on the Camino (Frances)? By that I mean it's available everywhere, and consumed at breakfast/lunch/anytime? Assuming yes, does anyone...
I have a few members of our family that are vegans. I do not understand it but I really do not want to be ignorant. I have seen a chicken moved of the dinner as it has an offensive smell , yet the same person ate meat for 30 years?
In today's times it just seems so difficult to please everyone -...
Hi!
I have a question about the pilgrim meals in the Parador in Santiago.
I know that pre-Covid the first pilgrims to arrive at the Pilgrims Office in the morning to get a Compostela were offered a voucher for these meals.
Does anyone know how this happens now? Or has it been discontinued...
I was very surprised to see this boxed wine from Spain, in our small little liquor store in Pueblo, Colorado! Didn't know if this type of thing was readily available elsewhere in the USA. Not only is it boxed, but it is organic. It is from Jumilla, which I had to look up, that is in the SE area...
I thought I'd share a couple of Blog Post's especially for my British and American friends who like history and wine as it's about Ribeiro wines.

Thank you everyone for helping me out on my coastal path to Constella.
I am now in on my way to Ponte de lima and up Central straight to Santiago.
Questions - 1. Good Food places recommendations? Good price and service!
2. Answered
3. Any other advice, heads up and recommendations?
I will be stopping at Villa do conde, Esposende and Viana do castello.
Are therr any must try Pilgrim Menus on the way or at those locations? I am currently on my walk from Porto now! Thank You! For dinner or lunch!
Hi
I'd like to ask people's opinions. What are your favourtie items from a Pilgrim Menus?
Personally I usually go for sopa or ensalada verde for starter and then lomo or pollo for main course.
For dessert I usually go for yogurt which I keep for breakfast.

So , most of the time when feasting on a pilgrims menu , it ends off with a small tub of yogurt or an ice cream? my advice is ask for an alternative , a flan which most restaurants and bars have.
My best flan ever was in a small town 10 miles from Burgos , a goat's milk flan - I thought I had...
