      This thread brings back longings of a hot fried choriso pot with bread, some serious ham and fries, juicy chicken legs, oxtail, Cihck pea vegetable soup with tuna and choriso added, w/bread, and lots of other Spanish delicacies. All flushed down...

      The OP hasn't been on the Forum for 24 hours, so most comments have not been consumed by her. I am not a vegetarian; I eat what I am served. I really enjoy Spanish food. For walking a Camino, you need to have lots of proteins and solid...

      Indeed... the notion that the Spanish people (who are residents and providers of "Europe's Salad Bowl") do not eat vegetables and fruits is absurd. In the small villages, of course the tiny tienda has little in the way of produce. Why would it...

      I am a vegetarian who walked for 40 days on the Frances last year. Your post shed light on your experience in great detail, too much detail for me to read it all and it read more like you needed to vent, which is not a bad thing. We all need...

      William Garza reacted to Flog's post in the thread Vegetarian Camino - a real sacrifice with Like Like.
      Except it isn't a well written post. It's an entitled whinge and it's a major problem with our society today. Let's call a spade a spade for a change. Go on, mods.. Quick, delete my post lest it offends anyone🙄

      The OP seems to have missed the point of pilgrimage. I read the post several times, and I see an entitled person upset that the trail did not meet their expectations. Pilgrimage is all about adjusting your demands/expectations to the trail, not...

      I'm sorry but in a world where hunger and starvation are a REAL problem (and not caused by a lifestyle choice) you chose to walk in a country where the pig reigns supreme and in a region bounded on two sides by sea and all that that entails. And...

      Absolutely — *but* in Galicia the lovely albergue kitchens have no kitchen supplies, so that won’t work on the Ingles. And, I agree with all the advice to the OP: do not ask the local culture to stop being itself. It’s walking pilgrimage, not...

      It comes with the turf; you made a commitment to being a vegetarian and must accept the consequences. The world does not revolve around you. And if the true spirit of the Camino had come forth, you would have suffered in silence--this is part...

      My short answer to your long post is: stay in albergues! Most of them have a kitchen (and on Gronze.com you can see which have or have not) where you can prepare your own meal; problem solved. And in most cases cooking together is a nice...
