Thanks Rebecca. I love your substack, as I am walking the Camino later this year with some friends and family. Two of us are vegetarian. What are our options? Or do you know what people carry with them to compensate?
If you’re doing the Francés, you’ll have more vegetarian options than any of the other routes. But don’t count on anything. Have a plan B. And C.
I’ve heard there are entire blogs and websites and such dedicated to being vegetarian on the Camino, so maybe look for those.
I stayed in hostels with kitchens sometimes just so I could cook a good vegetarian meal. I also hunted down vegetarian options in the biggest cities and went to Italian restaurants in the smaller towns as there are a lot of naturally vegetarian Italian dishes.
Great post. We’re reminded “we aren’t in Kansas anymore,” we’re guests in another culture, what to expect, and to adapt. It prompted my memory of adapting to chilled red wine.

Buen Camino!
Thanks! We are going to walk Francés - that sounds encouraging! Will check out the other info sources
Great tip about googling for images when you don’t know what the words mean. And congratulations to Tim! 🥳
Every time I show someone how to use google images for this, they are so grateful! :)

I'd forgotten about that as I'm so used to it at this point!
