Buen Camino,
I baked madeleines for the first time with my granddaughters and we were struck with the shell moulds - more like cockle shells than scallops though. I'm curious if madeleines feature in pastry shops along the camino routes in Spain.Hey, I'm with you, Kelly,
I can happily do plenty of damage with junk food! I've never been much of a water drinker, and so I found the availablility of fresh fruit (especially grapes) wonderful!
Spanish pastry is my downfall! Caracolas, croissants, napoleons, almond pastries.... heaven!!!!!! :lol: And then of course the is vino (in copious amounts - for health purposes, of course! :wink: ) and cerveza.....orujo...... patxarán......
Buen Camino,
Grunt, menu peregrino (dinner) will run you about 12 euro (3 courses, bread, wine). Breakfast & lunch are somewhat less. Sometimes breakfast is provided free, other times, about 3 euro. Your best bet for both meals is to shop the day before for fruit, bread, yogurt, cheese, & tuna fish. it's cheaper to make your own.You can always stop at the bars along the way & get coffee or cokes (KAS rocks!) if you want something different than water to drink.

Yes, but take note that some little villages have not any shops, or bars (which in Spain double as cafeterias). I remember one bar (the only in town) with the sign "closed by the owner´s retirement". Evidently, young people are not interested on the old family business, they go to live in the nearer big city. Actually, many places in Meseta look as ghost towns -you cross them from one side to the other, and not a person in sight.It all sounds great to me. As long as the healthy options are readily available.
I noticed by looking at the maps of the Camino Frances that there are towns and villages not too far apart, so I suppose you can eat whenever you want throughout the day.

I loved all the food on the Camino. The hams, the chorizo, the breads, paella, fresh fruits, vegetables, etc. I ate like a horse three times a day, and drank a lot of wine and Spanish beer and still lost over 10 kilos in body weight.
I don't know how many calories a day I was burning up, but it must have been a lot.
