Dietary Issues

[FLS]

Hello to everyone!

I am preparing for my first Camino experience. I'm a middle-aged woman walking Ferrol to Santiago alone in mid-September. Excited and nervous!

I have many questions and I am finding the forums quite helpful.

My question is this - I have an extremely restricted diet (religious, not health), which means that I will be carrying most of my food for the week with me.

One idea I had - and perhaps you can tell me if it seems feasible: Do albergues/hostels have stove burners that can be used? I could I carry my own frying pan and along the way purchase two eggs in the evening. This would make a nice addition to my current options.

Thank you for any help or ideas you might be able to offer with this. Otherwise it will be a long week of tuna and granola bars.

Hi and welcome,

On the Ingles I only stayed in one albergue , the one in Bruma and they had pots and pans yes.
I must say though that the Xunta albergues in Galicia are known for their good quality kitchens like stove and cupboards but lacking in utensils. Fear of stealing the stuff?

I know that the albergue at Pontedeurme did not have a kitchen when I walked two years ago, but there were kitchens elsewhere. Try www.gronze.com. It has good information on the accommodation available including whether there is a kitchen. It is in Spanish, so you might want to use a browser that automatically translates.
