Several people have asked about the food here on the Camino. It has been great! One of the dynamics of walking all day is I tend to dig right into the meal when it is in front of me. I haven't been taking time after grace for pictures!
I have often been told that the most important meal of the day is breakfast. While it is not the most exciting meal here in Spain, I enjoy it enough to have it twice every day. :) Most of the albergues host a simple breakfast for us before we go. It is toast with jam, juice and cafe con leche ( coffee with milk). As the walk unfolds, we stop for a second breakfast in a neighboring town. This is usually a little more interesting.... maybe a pastry, or maybe a tortilla-- an omelet with potatoes and sometimes meat. Once we found a place serving fried egg and bacon sandwiches.... oh so good!
Thankfully there are little stands selling fresh fruit because fruit and vegetables only make cameo appearances on the menu.
More on food to follow. I am trying to remember to take a few pictures of the lovely local cuisine. :)
I do hope that you are enjoying your morning coffee!!!! Am pleased to know that you have had some bacon. Again, thanks much for sharing the pilgrimage with us. Peace and all good things.to you. Helen
