Dear all,
My wife likes to eat fruit every day. So I was just wondering what fruit might be available to eat on the Camino in late September and October?
Thanks
Of course not. If you read his post carefully, you'll see he's simply asking WHAT fruit are available in September/October - not ARE fruit available in September/October.I find the reason for the question hard to understand. Does the OP think that northern Spain (the OP says that he plans to walk the Francés in September) is a desert, or that eating fruit is confined to Oxfordshire?
Hmmmm. Possible new friends. Off to look them up...thanks Mikel!aguacate...níspero

My apple-ogies. I hope you have a grape holiday. Buenana camino!
\are you trying to make a Date Bert?Thanks, Patrick.
Btw, I'm walking from Triacastela, starting 19 September. Any chance of a meeting? We could make a good pear!
Not really. Distribution networks are a bit more complicated than that.I would have thought that the fruits available in northern Spain in September/October would be the same as anywhere else in the northern hemisphere with access to imported fruit from all over the world as well as fruit grown in Spain.
So next time someone asks you "Who gives a fig?" you can tell them.Gardeners have generously given me handfuls of this lovely fruit
On the Camino I found the quality of bananas to be pretty awful
Do not touch the fruit! In the supermarkets you can do this ...
I hope you ask the owners if that's OK?In September on the Norte you can eat your fill of figs and cherries right from the trees. They are so good!
If you happen to see the owners. When trees are obviously not cared for and fruit will just fall and rot, I assume it's safe to pick a fig or two. How much can you eat, after all? Sometimes there's a sign inviting you to help yourself. Or a small stand run by kids where you can buy some fruit.I hope you ask the owners if that's OK?
I think the tastiest banana I have ever eaten was on the Camino... from Cameroon....On the Camino I found the quality of bananas to be pretty awful,...
That does look like a great banana! The ones I found were always green and woody. I could barely peel them. I soon gave up on them.I think the tastiest banana I have ever eaten was on the Camino... from Cameroon.
After eating one, I bought a couple more.
¡Buen Camino!
