Food is an essential and fascinating part of travel and, of course, the Camino experience: you will be crossing many different regions, all with their unique flavours and specialities.
Our advice? try to sample as Camino food much as possible! From the mountain cheeses of the Pyrenees to the seafood of Galicia, pintxos in the Basque Country and sweet treats in Portugal, there is a treat for your tastebuds in every town.
It is also important to bear in mind the difference in customs before your travel: meal times for instance can differ quite a lot from country to country. While the French like having their lunch break at 12pm, Spaniards rarely have dinner before 9pm… However, you will be treated to free ‘pinchos’ or affordable ‘tapas’ in many towns.
This is all part of the Camino experience and worth embracing and taking into account.
