Hi Pilgrims,
After having done two paths with my little son, this year we returned on the way to make Valença - Santiago in 3 days, it will be such an adventure.
Considering that we are vegetarians will be a challenge aside waiting for us on the way.
Anyone have suggestions to give us about this issue? Vegetarian eating places ...
Thank you.
I'm in the process of creating a vegan cookbook, which will be ready in a couple of days. I'll send you a copy if you like.
This earlier forum thread my be helpful for your research.
By the way in Tui this place offers albergue rooms and vegetarian meals.

thanks so muchI've walked 4 Caminos being a vegetarian and I didn't find it difficult to find food or cook on the road. Depends how you define vegetarian although, some people in Spain and Portugal consider ham and chicken a vegetarian option, not to mention fish seafood and eggs. As I like soups I usually tried to find out if the stalk is meat-based, as they could call it a veg soup on the menu. Pilgrim menue or menu del dia won't always do as many contain meat or fish, so I asked in the kitchen and I chose smth else what was available at the time. Last couple of Caminos I cooked in the albergues, last June the forests were full of wild mushrooms, so cooked for other pilgrims as well. Bom Caminho!
There won't be any problems being a vegatarian on the French way, plenty of infrastructure there and a lot of food options. Mushrooms are typical European, like different kind of boletes/porchini and chanterelles, but last June was rainy, it wasn't their typical timing, so wouldn't rely on finding them any other time then late autumn. Re: pasta sauses, you can find pesto in the bottles in the supermarkets, not the same quality that I make myself at home but will doi have milk and eggs and cheese but not fish or chicken nd any meat products and love pasta.
What sauces do they have available for pasta?
What were the mushrooms like? and look like?
i plan to bike for 6 weeks from st jean to santiago to finisterre to muxia back to santiago
Privet Surya thanks so much again for your email.

Re: pasta sauses, you can find pesto in the bottles in the supermarkets, not the same quality that I make myself at home but will doDon't normally go for pasta when eating out, so can't say about the sauses but when we cooked in the albergues everything available went in, pel-mel Ah, and I usually travel with some spices, that makes a huge difference! You might be tired of rice and potatoes on the Camino as they are everywhere so I take some less traditional grains for the road like buckwheat, millet and couscous. Bom Caminho!
thanks Nick so much for your help mate@pilgrimglenn7, here is a link to a graphic from Heart of the Camino showing vegetarian-friendly restaurants and albergues on the Camino Francés: Vegetarian Way
Also, take a look at the resources that my wife Wendy mentioned upthread.
