I've just been looking at the services details on Gronze and it tells me there are all services at Vairao but nothing at Vila do Conde. Does this sound right? We'll always carry emergency rations so will never be starving, but I'm wondering how much faith to place in the available information.
 
Altus ANDES 400 H30 sleeping bag
Down bag (90/10 duvet) of 700 fills with 180 g (6.34 ounces) of filling. Mummy-shaped structure, ideal when you are looking for lightness with great heating performance.

€149,-
if they /Gronze were right, the citizen of VdC would be starving 24/7.
of course there are supermercados, bakeries, cafe's etc. and plenty of restaurants also along side the river front street. quite pretty.
but very noisy on weekend nights, if you are planning to stay at accommodation along that area. (as we did, to our regret)
 
As I understood from the hospitaleiras of the monasteirio do Vairão they even supply a pilgrimsmenu. We will see next monday and let you all know about it in our blog.
About food along the caminho I fully agree with Claudia and look forward to these great " paderias"-bakeryshops for a pequeno almoço- breakfast, small bars and restaurants for a"menu do dia-about 10€, a three course menu at about 14h00 and a "jantar- a warm dish at night.
We are looking forward the various and famous Portuguese "bacalhão"dishes and a local dish called "Francesinha" from the Porto area.
Can't wait..counting down now.

Pilgrims who will fly over Europe -read France- still have the threat that french aircontrollers are striking from April 29th till May 2nd so probablably there will be flight cancellations.

Anyway. Bom caminho e bom apetite

You're a rascal falcon. I know people eat, but maybe they take their car 10km to get to a panaderia! That's a big detour if you're on foot.

Our Atmospheric H30 poncho offers lightness and waterproofness. Easily compressible and made with our Waterproof fabric, its heat-sealed interior seams guarantee its waterproofness. Includes carrying bag.

Are you saying that they eat every day in Portugal? Mercados are not set up just for pilgrims?

perhaps that's why the so-called FEAST days for various catholic saints come in handy?! or should i say: come in tummy?
