Part of the experience of the Camino is trying to find food from time to time... :shock:
LTfit said:I believe that it also depends on which Camino you walk. On the Via de la Plata there was no "pelgrim menu" but every town had a Menu del día for around E8.00. This included a primer plato, segundo, postre or dessert and a drink. Due to the scorching heat and lack of hunger I often had a bowl of gazpacho or a mixed salad for about E4-5 for lunch at 3-4 p.m. although my walking buddy usually had the menu. Meals were excellent. We both are vegetarian but eat fish and there were always options.
Yes, it's just luck to some extent. I got an absolutely fantastic pilgrim meal in May last year in Arzua. Not a pretty town, but the menu peregrino was HUGE! A whole pot (not plate) of soup and a whole chicken. And the European Cup final was on at the same time, so it was just like a dream really. Lentejas were a revelation as well, and something you can do at home so easily and stick in the freezer.Thomas Hugues said:Food on the Camino is pretty much the same (some better, some worse) when you compare it to the SLOP served at Casa Marcelo Restaurant in Mansilla de las Mulas !
