Early hominins were using stone tools to butcher meat as long ago as 3.4 million years, about 800,000 years earlier than previous evidence dates to, scientists report in this week's issue of Nature.
Pacharan said:La Trucha in El Acebo is a vegetarian B&B; the host is very welcoming and the homecooked food a world away from the chicken'n'chips pilgrim menus.

I love vegetarian food it goes great with a nice steak
Same thing happened to me. Ordered veg stew, it had little white meat lumps in it, tried to explain vegetarian, was told, but it's only a little bit of meat! So only had soup that night... Was quite hungry! Waiter even laughed at how little I ate, made a comment about that's why I am so small/thin!!!Oh well thats at least 3 meals you can have.......
I say to my wife that vegetarians in Spain are a little like Introverts, (they do exist but are very hard to find).
But seriously I don't know how much of a vegetarian you are (some will eat fish occasionally) but I think you may struggle in parts.
Even the mixed salads nearly always have tuna. I also saw someone order a mixed "vegetable stew" that when it arrived it had chicken in it and when questioned the waiter said "well its just chicken".
So be carefull, again it depends on how serious a vegetarian you are.
Someone once told me a story of about Swami Vivekanada (devout vegetarian) who after eating a dish with meat in it by mistake and being physically ill once he rcognised the fact came back inside and asked his host for another helping, saying that he should get over his "attachment" to not eating meat.
Anyway
I wish you the best of luck .

It was asparagus soup.... Hope it was meat free!Ha Ha! Most of the soups have a meat base. If you ask for vegetarian soup they just scoop the meat out!
