food & drink

I’m planning another Camino Frances, but this time can only do part of it. I’ll be walking from Pamplona for around 2 weeks; I like to walk around 22km a day, depending on the heat (I’m going again in the height of summer!). As well as meeting people through cooking meals together, I have very...

When on day 4 I consumed about the 20th egg on the Camino Inglés (from Ferrol to Santiago with a stop in Neda), I made a promise to post some information about vegetarian options on the Camino Inglés. In short: be prepared because they barely exist. I stayed in hotels, so my experience does...

What type of food/quality can be expected on the Camino? What do the locals eat in this region? Is it eating at the Alberges for breakfast & dinner & then eating at restaurants for lunch along the way? Or is it all restaurants ( with no meals provided at Alberges)? What kind of daily meal...

Looking forward to eating some great food starting in Sjpdp and heading towards Burgos. As they say here in Ireland hunger is the best sauce ,what are some of your highlights of the food you have experienced on your walk

Olà, We'll be starting our Caminho Português in a few days. We're on our way to Lisboa from Málaga (by train and bus), and as I was enjoying my last tinto de verano con limón, I wondered what the equivalent might be in Portugal. My darling and I enjoy also an Aquarius Limón, which I assume might...

As it says really. Mucho Gracias

I'm sorry to flood the forum with new threads these days, but I only made the decision to do this 8-day walk two weeks ago, and I'm starting it in just over one, Saturday, August 24 Now, granted that: 1) I will not do the CF or a "standard" camino but the "Camino Real de la Costa y Medianía,"...

I have tried to search for this info with no avail. The info I am looking for is in reagrds to Breakfast for the early mornings. I am aware that we could find some further on. If we leave early in the morning each day and put the boots to the trail around 7 am do some albergues or donavitos...

Hi all. While I'm writing this with my specific Salvador attempt next week in mind, I also think it is more generally relevant so posting here. There are routes less travelled, and there are also sections on the Frances, especially with alternative paths, where the services are few and far...

What are the bests meals and drinks i need to try on my camino ?

In case you want to recreate this cake, here is an easy (and gluten-free) recipe, from a fairly well-known food maven. She's American but has lived and worked in Spain for a number of years. https://spanishsabores.com/tarta-de-santiago-recipe-spanish-almond-cake/#recipe

Like many of you, one of the things that I miss most after returning home from a Camino is the Spanish food! The online publication Spanish Sabores posted an article with 50 tapas recipes. Enjoy and Buen provecjo! https://spanishsabores.com/spanish-tapas-recipes/

Hiya, we're looking for a vegetarian restaurant in Santiago De Compostela that's open on Mondays. Please and thank you.

Hello pilgrims! I love tinned fish. I am excited about having better quality and more options in Portugal and Spain! Do people buy it at the grocery or can you have it in cafes? If you are a tinned fish fan, any recommendations?

Hi all, probably a question with many different answers, but here goes. I've done several Caminos, but always ones that feature a cafe every now and then ( think Frances, Portuguese, Ingles etc) I'm thinking of stretching myself to do one without similar infrastructure - either part of. Via de...

Do supermarkets in the towns between Sarria and Santiago generally sell gluten free bread etc?

I wasn’t sure where to post this so mods feel free to move it. This year I’ve had more than one person in my group complain because the pork they ordered was “raw” and they have sent it back to be cooked to well done. This is a leftover in the United States from our parents’ and grandparents’...

Just wondering if shops and restaurants are open on Sundays and public holidays (eg upcoming Ascension and Pentecost(Whit Sunday)? we will be walking the last 100km from Sarria but over the weekends and Pentecost, and curious if we need to stock up on food and snacks if shops would be closed.

Can anyone tell me where their best and favorite salad is in Pamplona?

Today when I was having some embutidos snd bread since I arrived too late for lunch in any restaurant, I commented to the bartender that the bread was really good and wondered if it was from the king’s bread maker. He told me — “claro, estás comiendo como una reina.” He directed me to the...
