Food
I have found nothing on the subject of feeding on the VdlP other than a passing remark. Cooking myself is my least favoured option! Is it safe to say that in the villages along the route there is a restaurant of sorts where one can get a meal? I found when walking the Camino frances all villages had a restaurant of sorts and most offered a menu pelegrino / menu del dia.
I assume that most if not all albergues enable one to cook a meal. Would this be correct? And, indeed, if one cooks for oneself one has to buy food, ideally where one is staying so as to avoid carrying it. Any observations, please?
Costs
When I walked the Camino frances in 2005 the generally held view was that the overall cost on the Camino amounted to roughly E1 per km. For those who have done both the Camino frances and the VdlP would any say if this is still the case? In my own case in 2005 I know I spent more than E1 / km because from time to time in the big towns I stayed 2 nights in a cheap hotel, had the laundry done…..However, this is a subject which I realise is quite personal but some thoughts would be useful.
