Hi All,
I’m starting on the Salvador the day after tomorrow and I’d just like to confirm the availability of food on this camino and what I need to be prepared to carry. Background: I’m planning a 5 day camino, so stopping in La Robla, Poladura, Pajares, Pola de Lena, and Oviedo.
So what I gather from Laurie’s/Ender’s guide I’ll need breakfast/lunch on Day 1, and there’s bars/shops for dinner.
Day 2: at 8kms there’s bars/shops so I can buy breakfast/lunch and I’d have called ahead for dinner in Poladura.
Day 3: at 9km is the (in)famous Puerto de Pajares so I can get breakfast/lunch there and I’d have called ahead to arrange dinner at/from the Taberna or hospitalera
Day 4: I’ll need breakfast as there’s nothing till Campomanes at 17k, but then can buy lunch & dinner
Day 5: seems to have bakeries, bars, shops spaced throughout the day
So in reality, I really don’t need to carry much??

I met Ender last night very briefly in La Robla. I was there with three people from Spain and one from Poland.So I am having trouble recalculating the days but I THINK it might have been you whom Ender met last night in La Robla. He feels bad that he didn’t have much time to talk but assured me that you are doing well —not that I’m your guardian or anything..
Buen camino. Hope your weather continues to be glorious.
Hi Peregrina2000, Further to my question about phoning ahead, we'll be in La Robla on the evening of the 8th. It would be an honour to meet Ender. David & DebbieHi, alipilgrim,
Wow, lucky you! Buen camino!
This is a very good summary of what's available. I always carry fruit, nuts, and yoghurt, along with the occasional chocolate bar, and that always works. If you need a hot drink in the morning, this is one of those caminos where my electric coil came in very handy. Would you like me to tell @Ender what night you will be in La Robla? He lives very close to there and enjoys meeting peregrinos. Buen camino, Laurie
I will absolutely let him know some more forum members will be there. But beware, he may try to sell you on walking the Olvidado next!Hi Peregrina2000, Further to my question about phoning ahead, we'll be in La Robla on the evening of the 8th. It would be an honour to meet Ender. David & Debbie
Also, I can’t find the thread now from my phone but there was a question about whether the parador was open at Puerto de Pajares - it is, and looks great. Wished I ate there with it’s wonderful views versus the nondescript cafe across the road. Some pics: View attachment 65397View attachment 65398View attachment 65399
