Arrived in Porto late Sunday night. Next morning my wife and I had breakfast at cafe Majestic. It was there I had the fist sighting! A whole display of pastel del NATA! Unfortunately I am pre-diabetic and cannot consume a single one!!!! I have worked out that I will be able to consume at least one before Tui if I stick to a strict Ketogenic diet. This means large amounts of protein no carbs and no alcohol except in the form of Brandy or Whiskey. I hope I have the strength of will to succeed.

Good like, @Marcus-UK ! I'm also pre-diabetic, and am no longer drinking down 12 oz. of Coca cola after a long, long walk. First Camino, it's all I wanted---and I've never been one for sugary drinks.

Post diagnosis, I cut out the coke and orange juice (well, most of the orange juice), and just went with water and coffee.

You inspire me, and I aim to mend my unhealthy ways!

Just make sure the whisky is Jameson

Drink enough of it and you'll forget about the cakes!!!
Good luck and best wishes

I note it is whiskey, not whisky. Having been recently diagnosed as being diabetic ( much to my fury) maybe it will not be so bad if whiskey and whisky are allowed...
i loved the Camino fromPorto, hope it all goes well for you. Wait till you see the distances measured in centimetres!
Buen Camino
