Are we talking about first, second or third breakfast?Any other suggestions for a divine breakfast that goes beyond the traditional croissant amd OJ?
Hahahahahaha !Are we talking about first, second or third breakfast?
but what about the Tostada de tomate?
I love it, but is it available on all routes? Can we ask for one on any route?
Is tostado de tomate sliced tomato on toast? An old favourite. Plain, with butter, with cream cheese, with hommus... Butter is best. In Mérida once, the most delicious poached eggs in a tomato sauce - not ketchup, a sauce cooked with tomatoes. Lejos de cf though.
Noooo, no butter, aceite!If fresh, the tomato is rubbed on the tostada or you can get it already made in a little tub like marmalade...
I am quite shocked to read such comments from a member in Kent, England. Bread and butter was a marriage made in heaven, consummated in your native land and shared thereafter with all its conquests. To think, once the sun never set on bread and butter, and now you, in a home county no less, are extolling foreign olive oil. For shame.
Nope, there were places on the VdlP/Sanabres last year where they didn't know what I was asking about!
Personally I have enormous admiration for any nation that dreams up a breakfast of chocolate con churros. I have it booked for my last meal on earth.

In that part of Spain, migas is the traditional dish at breakfast.

Was not impressed...
Bars with kitchens will cook eggs scrambled, sunnyside up, or omelet. They usually have some becon around to add some meat.
What about morning tea ?????
Do I have to make that myself or is that available everywhere for buying along the Camino
in the early morning ????
I am a café con leche person myself, but my Aussie cousin/walking companion always spoke of 'morning tea.' Not once did I hear her complain that it wasn't available.
I envy you your walk in July. Welcome to the forum, and Buen Camino.Thank you,
I am starting my first walk in beginning of June.
As long as I get my morning tea, I can eat what ever is there.

They have tea in SpainEarly morning.... Depends! But then it's the same with coffee...
Exactly, thats what worries me. How early do they open the bars in the small villages in the mountain.
I do live in south Spain in the winter half year making my own tea in the morning but when I am out
it is not many places they have black tea , mostly red or green or something fruity. But I do live in a very small fishing village, though.
As Domigee suggested electric coils are great! We who carry them would never travel without one! See more info here.
Happy boiling and Buen camino!
Now that's a real breakfast. Carbs and protein to get ya going.Just before Pintin, Casa do Franco - sunnyside up with becon - eggs are double yolks! On a sunny day - perfect for 2nd breakfast after crepes for 1st breakfast at A Balsa.View attachment 24509
As I said, it depends when they open, sometimes it is not before 9 ... If you are desperate for that early morning cup of tea, you'll find other pilgrims found the solution with the 'electric coil' ...
...moras y queso de oveja....Any other suggestions for a divine breakfast that goes beyond the traditional croissant amd OJ?
And not to forget Pilar's place, on the left as you enter Murias de Rechivaldo...it's an oasis for this vegetariana.
And she has Muesli!! (An Irish peregrino was so taken by this that he ate almost the entire container.)
Where, where, where? The only chocolate & churros I have seen were 1) in a toursit trap in Santiago (and the oil used for the churros was clearly old) and 2) in a small ber in O Cavado on the Primitivo. Would love to see this on offer more often. And roasted chestnuts, yummm... Where have you seen these street vendors?I'm with mspath chocolate and churros from a street vendor ummm how about roasted chestnuts ai ai ai ai
zzotte
A year ago I happened upon a fiesta in Grañón and one of the stalls was selling freshly made churros. It was very interesting to see the making them from scratch and delicious! Grañón happens to be one of my favourite Camino places.In Léon hot chocolate is so thick that the spoon almost stands in the cup. Chocolate con churros, served with freshly made crullers is a delicious, caloric treat and fuel for walking! For an additional delicious pick-up try freshly squeezed zumo naranja or orange juice.
Not a street vendor but a great place on a main street in central Leon is Chocolateria Valor, Calle Ancha 8.
Truly delicious!
I grew up with a churro making skquirting thing, bit no deep frier, so my mother never made them. Now the extrudor is gone but a few shops in town sell the mix to make them, and I have a deep frier...A year ago I happened upon a fiesta in Grañón and one of the stalls was selling freshly made churros.

And why doesn't it taste the same at home?

A perfect ending.Personally I have enormous admiration for any nation that dreams up a breakfast of chocolate con churros. I have it booked for my last meal on earth.
A friend of mine says, "Bread is just a delivery system for butter."Bread and butter was a marriage made in heaven
Though I'm quite the minimalist (save for the electric toothbrush), I say take a few tea bags along just in case and ask for agua caliente.If you want a good tea, take your own with you.
What about morning tea ?????
Do I have to make that myself or is that available everywhere for buying along the Camino

We took tea bags with us so we could have a cuppa 1st thing before leaving the Albergue then either more tea or coffee at our 1st breakfast stop.What about morning tea ?????

I've stayed at the Hotel Maisonnaive in Pamplona three times and always been impressed with their breakfast. In full agreement with no.3.Here are some of the breakfast favorites I've collected over the years:
Buen provecho!
- Bar Valentin, Zubiri. It's owned and run by the town butcher shop, so just imagine!
- Albergue El Palo de Avellano, Zubiri. Nice spread with cereal and homemade cake.
- Breakfast buffet at Hotel Maissonave, Pamplona. Really, just about any 3-star hotel will serve up a nice buffet for around 12 euros.
- Meson de la Tortilla, Pamplona. Seven different types of tortillas served up daily (three vegetarian options). Located in a plaza just off the trail.
- Cafe Bombon, Logrono. The most delightful coffee drink, of espresso, sweetened condensed milk, tiny bit of steamed milk. Also available in other places, but that one is my favorite.
- Bar at Hostal Camino Real, Calzadilla de la Cueza
- Confiteria Asturcon in Sahagun, for the most amazing pastries.
- There is a lovely cafe in Pieros, 2 km after Cacabelos, that serves hot breakfasts - eggs and meats.
- The bar at El Puente Peregrino, Trabadela - everything is amazing, including the brownies and fair trade coffee

If you are "salty breakfast" person (vs jam on toast), enjoy the chorizo amd cured hams and lovely cheeses. High protein, high fat, great fuel for a long day on the trail. And there is aleays the default tortilla de patatas. Funny, in my younger days, before the Paleo diet was ever invited, I didn not understand breakfasts in Germany, The Netherlands, etc. Now they would be all the rage with their ham and cheeses.I like this thread, because honestly we found it very difficult to find a breakfast that included any protein. It seems that everything was a bread of some sort. I am going to make notes for my April Camino. Keep them coming.
Carbohidratos engordan!Me gusta mucho pan y patatas y tortas pero ... what is Spanish for "carbs make me fat"?
Siri strikes again! Or autocorrect or whatever. Helpfully for once as I always thought segue was French. Mortified to find I have been mispronouncing it all my life. Same with ceviche which I only recently found out is not French either. Slightly relevant, if not a breakfast dish. At least as far as I know...Quite off topic but the above seems too good a segway to miss.

Back to Camino breakfasts.
I am quite shocked to read such comments from a member in Kent, England. Bread and butter was a marriage made in heaven, consummated in your native land and shared thereafter with all its conquests. To think, once the sun never set on bread and butter, and now you, in a home county no less, are extolling foreign olive oil. For shame.

For me when I'm in North Van its Moja timeI too am a morning tea drinker. Actually all day tea drinker. Anywhere that serves cafe con leche will also serve té con leche. Some even ask if you want the milk frio or caliente. I was happy to have either! So, take heart, tea drinkers!
Hmm, I'll have to check it out. Do you think they will serve té con leche, though?For me when I'm in North Van its Moja time
Over the past 5 weeks I've been wandering around Spain. I've had (or observed) tostadas con tomate on the VdlP and the Frances, as well as in Madrid, Nerja and Grenada. It seems that you can ask for it anywhere even when it's not listed on the menu. However, sometimes I've been given a chunk of tomato instead of the dish of grated/puréed tomato.We all rave about cafe con leche, but what about the Tostada de tomate?
I love it, but is it available on all routes? Can we ask for one on any route?
