hey
forget about the pilgrims menu, not worth the money.
you can make it yourself and it will be cheaper.
if you have the chance enjoy the communal dinners ,nice to meet
other pilgrims and have some great conversations.
and sometimes they are free or donativo.
don´t get fooled 10 euro for pilgrims menu (pasta, eggs,bread,lettuce,flan and wine)
almost every menu is the same .
wine in spain is dirt cheap and is sometimes better than wat you get with the menu.
hi milly2b
there are albergue´s mostly from the church that have communal dinners.
you get dinner and sometimes wine, and it is donativo.
very nice to talk and get to know you're fellow pilgrims.
if there is no communal dinner just ask some pilgrims and cook together.
you will be amazed what an amazing feast you can creat with only a couple of
euro´s per person.
cheaper than a pilgrims menu and much more fun.
The common thread among responses is that it’s good to be real flexible regarding meals. Some days it’s possible to put together a really nice meal, other days the goal is just to get some edible calories into your tired body, and on other days you’ll be grateful for that one restaurant that offers a pilgrim menu for 10€Thank you all for your detailed replies !!
I think I have all the info I need now food-wise, I am so excited about this walk !

And a bar of chocolate, to share.ALWAYS have nuts or cheese just in case.
Many kitchens are closed right now due to the pandemic and not as many shared breakfasts or shared meals in the evening either. I do think it depends on the region and what restrictions may be in place and whether the facility is following the restrictions or not. There was supposedly a fine for those who were not following the imitations when my husband, Phil, was hospitalero in September on the meseta, but that did not seem to deter others.
Indeed! That is why we carry them!With @peregrina2000 s immersion heater it would always be possible to boil water and make soup or instant noodles.
I enjoyed the unique experience at Father Ernesto's lovely albergue and complex in Guemes, and the communal meal provided was excellent in 2016.The best communal was at Guemes - Father Ernesto and his merry band treat you royally!
How remote are we talking about? On most routes, you could miss a hot meal a time or two, but you'll get over it, and it is part of the adventure.Just bouncing around options for more remote Caminos...
This was a one cup with the reservoir in the bottom.Oh yes - we always take a handpresso espresso maker! I need at least two hits of coffee a day to keep me cycling - and I cannot afford to stop at cafes that often - so it is well used! The other 'extra' item is a small seed sprouter (not for walkers perhaps!) so we get fresh sprouts every third day - keeps the scurvy away when fresh veg is sometimes far between!
