Absolutely. And the fact that it is Sunday and that I will have to walk to them. More restaurant meals for me, aka "another non veggie day in Spain".Sorry to hear about this @Anemone del Camino . Things like this can really put a dent in your day. The cost of the stuff you lose isn't important - it is the frustration and undermining of trust in your fellow walkers.
Just read your latest post ,all is almost well, so pleased for you.Sorry to read this.As a'veggie' I found Sundays a problem with food supplies,so I hope you can find a veggie meal.Do not let inconsiderate people spoil your Camino,and I hope your knee heals soon.God Bless.
I am glad I am not a veggeratarian, because that would be missing out on so much of what Spain has to offer while in a Camino, but I consume a lot of beggies and fruits at home and was looing forward to a good stirfry of some sort today.Sorry to read this.As a'veggie' I found Sundays a problem with food supplies,so I hope you can find a veggie meal.Do not let inconsiderate people spoil your Camino,and I hope your knee heals soon.God Bless.
That is just a scum bag thing to do. Some people on the Camino should not be there. That may upset some here but really, are they that needy? Or just selfish and greedy. Hope 'said' people read this. Shame on you.Because of an injured knee, I am staying two night at Casa Elena's. As today is Sunday, ipon arrival in the village yesterday, I hobbled to the shop to buy food for today: yogourt, 2 oranges, a zucchini, a small onion, a pepper and a clara. Other pilgrims had kindly left me pasta and cheese as well.
Woke up at 6 am while roommates were packing, accompanied them while they had breakfast (they gave me 4 other yogourts) and went back to sleep when they left.
Woke up hungry, went to the fridge, and it is empty!
For the love of God, if the food is not yours, and especially if you are not the last one to leave the albergue, and of it all looks too good, and too much, to have just been abandonned, HANDS OFF.
I doubt it would be anyone on this forum. It is disappointing though when it does happen.Happy Easter.Food saga continues. Cleaning lady informed hospy about the missong food.
He just came up with 2 pilgrims and told me there was a plastic bag outside on the sidewalk. He went to look... My food! All but the yogourts and the cooked pasta. I am a happy camper, as what I really wanted were the veggies.
But who does this? Who, steals food from the fridge, and when realising it was a few kg of fruits and veg and not chocolate or other pilgrim delights, leaves it on the sidewalk?
Still, the word of advice remains: if it ain't yours, don't touch it.
I know there have been discussions in the past on the forum about sulfites not being found in Spanish wines in Spain, but in their exports. I have paid attention and every red I have been served in a bottle has had sulphites.

Years ago I went to a church resources exhibition. One of the stalls was promoting non-alcoholic communion wine. They had thimble-sized sample glasses to taste. It had me choking and coughing with a burning sensation in my throat. I picked up the bottle and saw printed on the label "Warning: Not to be taken as a beverage". Decided to stick with port for church use. Much safer!Sulfites happen naturally with fermentation, every wine will have a little bit. Added sulfites (required by the USA for imported wine) are another thing altogether, they make it shelf-stable but they also make it undrinkable for people like me (waaah!)

We had a similar experience at the Albergue in Alvaiazere, where we mistakingly left a couple of oranges in a plastic bag in the kitchen overnight, meant for our breakfast. We came in to make coffee in the morning, saw orange peels in the rubbish bin and thought "they looked like nice oranges". Yes they were, they were ours, all gone, eaten, taken, STOLEN! Taking food that's not yours is theft. if it's not yours leave it alone.Because of an injured knee, I am staying two night at Casa Elena's.

I would like to think that that is what actually happened.I think most of us learn this in our first apartment share experience.
One possible explanation: It could have been someone who sent their partner down to "get our stuff out of the fridge".
Then she (of course) saw him eating a yoghurt and said: Where did you get that?
Him: Out of our bag of food. Her: Not it's not....
Then, they realised it wasn't their stuff so left it at the (then closed) door of the albergue.
Very sorry this happened to you and I hope your knee recovers soon.
