    I recall several wild apple trees in Galicia growing on the verge and outside of the property so considered them fair game but always recall the time that the UK stopped putting lead in our petrol (gas) and somebody asked: "Is it safe to eat...

    I don’t think I would pick any fruit, but would always take what is offered. Outside of Triacastella on the way to Sarria, this lovely lady was picking apples off her tree with this basket and offering them to pilgrims over her wall. 💗

    There was a man ahead of us who picked a bunch of kiwis (filled his pockets). He began walking and ate one, realized they were not ripe, and through them all away! What a waste. You are a guest in the country. The fruit is not yours. Be...

    For me, it’s a hard no, no matter where the fruit is hanging. I‘ve seem too many people walk straight into vineyards and taking massive amounts of grapes (in both France and Spain) AND then reason that it’s okay since they only take a few and...

    I don’t know whether it is true for Spain or not. I note however, that as a Camino walker I don’t own any property there … iow, any rule between two property owners does not apply to me. I never touch fruit on trees or bushes in a village or...

    ginniek reacted to Walkerooni's post in the thread Low-hanging fruit with Thank you Thank you.
    Several times an older couple picking fruit in their fields waved me over to their fence and pushed fresh-picked cherries or grapes into my hands. Offers to pay for same were rejected, so I graciously accepted their generosity. The thought of...

    The other aspect of 'only picking a piece or two' is that if everybody does it, the tree/bush/vine whatever, would be stripped in no time...@ least on the 'public' side. 🤔🤷‍♀️ 👣🌏

    Private or public depends on the Camino path. I'm almost certain that parts of the Primitivo I walked were cowpaths... I stuck to fruit and nuts that had already fallen, but that's the etiquette I learned in S Florida.

    I would never feel comfortable picking any fruit that was not mine to pick.

    Hello. Not sure if it is OK to use this forum to look for a Camino friend. Our family just completed the Camino Frances on July 14. We are looking for a new friend whom we met on the Camino— Rick from Florida. If anyone on this forum who knows...
