Hi all,
I'll be doing my first camino this September/October. I'll be starting in Paris and camping along the way and plan on following the Camino Frances route once I make it in to Spain.
I plan on cooking my own food along the way using my camper stove (jetboil). I'm just wondering if it's common to see isobutane/propane canisters in the supermarkets along the way?
Thanks!
I May be totally wrong because I've never used one of these things myself. But I think the jet boil uses a special kind of gas. And I don't think it's readily available in supermarkets in Spain.From Paris until you hit the 'pilgrim infrastructure' of the main routes that set-up will serve you fine, after that it really will be a burden. In France you can buy those blue containers at nearly every gas station/big supermarket - after that - very difficult and frankly not really necessary.
Buen Camino, SY
You could maybe invest in a multifuel stove, it can burn on any liquid fuel you can find, including diesel.
You could take with you a converter to change a campingaz canister to a screw thread.
Petrol, diesel, methylated spirits, gin, vodka, rhum, whiskey, lighter fluid, liquid barbecue lighting fluid, kerosene, lamp oil, or any flammable liquid; some have adapters for screw on gas canisters.So when you have bought a fuel can at a petrol station and filled it with the minimum amount that you can buy (4 - 5 liters) and you only need half a liter what do you do with what's left? You could always buy a multifuel stove that runs on camping gas then you would not have the problem of disposing excess liquid fuel.
Below is the contact info for the JetBoil distributor in Spain. You might be able to find out from them the best places to buy fuel on the route. I'd love to pack my Zip next trip! (but at a minimum will bring my Ultralight drip system and hope for access to a kettle. Dos or tres café con leche per stop just doesn't cut it if you are a 3 pot a day coffee addict like I am.)I plan on cooking my own food along the way using my camper stove (jetboil).

Alcohol suitable for use as a fuel may be abundant along the camino. You would need a different stove (but it would likely be cheap.) It wouldn't cook as fast as your current stove.
