wow incredible!Machines similar to this are in bars and restaurants all over Spain. https://www.caminodesantiago.me/com...-simplicity-of-these-wonderful-machines.8796/
Been there done that, in places other than Spain!There was more than one day that I spent more on orange juice than on my bed though!
It often is, but regular soft drinks are often more expensive than coffee or wine!Been there done that, in places other than Spain!
Sounds like it may not be quite as cheap as I had hoped however. I was hoping it might be the same cost as a regular soft drink.
OK 2 euros. That gives me a sense of the cost. Not Southeast Asia cheap, but less than half the cost of it in Canada, so not bad. Cheers!It often is, but regular soft drinks are often more expensive than coffee or wine!
I probably paid an average of 2 euros for a glass of fresh orange juice - a bigger glass than you get in the US for $6.
Ha ha, glad to see I'm not the only one with a weakness for fresh squeezed oj!And yes with conversion in Canadian dollars is an luxury item and they add up.: 2 by day x 35 days (55 days for me) x 3 euros x 1.5 ( for conversion). I think I drank a mortgage of orange Juice !
Exactly my experience as well. I definitely had my share when I felt like it.It often is, but regular soft drinks are often more expensive than coffee or wine!

A well earned refreshment!Climbing to the top of Alto de Poio I saw to the right a heavenly vision: a host of pilgrims sitting on a large terrace relaxing and drinking what appeared to be buckets of orange juice.
I wanted that.
I went to the counter and asked for some and some food. The large glass of juice was surprisingly inexpensive, and when it came to my table I took my place among the Elect drinking big beer glasses full of juice, and marveling at how many of us there were, sitting with silly grins on our faces, the long hot climb a thing of the past. Magic.
All the best

Yes, it was certainly available of the French Way, AND IT WAS DELISCIUOS. But, I don't recall the price?This question is getting into the real minutiae I realize, but I'm curious so I thought I'd ask...
Am I correct that fresh squeezed orange juice is a thing on the Camino (Frances)? By that I mean it's available everywhere, and consumed at breakfast/lunch/anytime? Assuming yes, does anyone recall the average cost?
A silly question many of you may think, but where I live (western Canada), a glass of fresh squeezed orange juice is a real luxury, and can easily cost $6++ for a tiny glass.
It's one of my indulgences when I travel in countries where it's more affordable, and given that Spain is famous for at least one variety of orange I'm wondering if fresh squeezed juice is cheap there.
A cup of coffee and glass of fresh squeezed OJ would be a luxurious way to start each day on the Camino!

To add to something mentioned in the article, I saw this sign in a bar window in Lisbon this morning.Travels in Orange Lands
Orange trees are ubiquitous in southern Spain and Portugal. But the story of how the fruit arrived in the lands of the Camino de Santiago – and why it’s called what it is in many languages – might surprise you.
What an interesting history of the orange! Thank you for sharing!Orange juice in Spain is wonderful, especially the further south you go.
Here’s a story I wrote about oranges (and orange juice) in the Mediterranean once for anyone interested. And for the record, fresh orange juice cost 30 US cents per glass in Morocco in 2007!
