My luck is “Murphy’s Law”. I’ll be the one that passes the first place and can’t find another for hours. Heh. Glad I’m going to be traveling with you(the Experts).
Thanks so much! I'm leaving in five weeks for SJPP and hope to eat out of grocery stores bc of dietary restrictions. Your description of grocery store availability is so helpful. Many thanks.
We weren’t sure what to expect and are happy to report on the options we found. It was our primary choice when we had it. Buen Camino, have a great time!!!
Thanks for sharing all the options, especially about the grocery stores and ready made salads. The pilgrim meals sound pricier than I would have expected but I guess if it includes wine, it’s not too bad. And $100 a day sounds affordable. Is that a piece or for both of you?
$100 a day is for both of us. I'll be curious to run the final numbers in the end and see how close we come to that. Probably that will be its own video 😆
We budgeted at $100 USD a day for both of us. We talk about our daily costs in each of these videos, but there were variations day to day. We are soon to make a costs video looking at the big picture of how much we spent for our entire Camino, so keep your eye out for that!
I leave in 8 weeks SJPP. I’m starting to pencil in my itinerary. This is helpful. BTW, your channel name is no longer appealing to me. The heat index here in NW Arkansas has been over 105. I need 10 degrees cooler. 😅
Many travelers say they are chasing weather in the 70s. We’re much prefer the 80s or even 90s. We can tolerate hotter temps (we did Egypt in July and loved it) but we don’t usually seek out those hot temps. So I don’t blame you for being uncomfortable in that heat! 😁
We did talk to someone who was gluten free, but only one person so this is purely her experience, but she was struggling. She said some of the bigger cities were fine for options, but the smaller places could be a lot harder. Wish I had more specifics to share.
FYI, I have celiac and have done three Caminos. The grocery stores in the larger cities all carry gluten free products. So I always carried my own bread and cookies. As Robb said the tortilla was wonderful so I had that for my breakfast most days. A some of the albergues had gluten free pasta so that was nice. The restaurants, even in the smaller towns are very aware of celiac. When I said, I had to eat gluten-free there was no problem and the staff knew what was available for me. Even when I travel at home, USA, I always carry something to eat. Planning ahead is just part of our life.
Thanks to David for considering OUR needs as viewers if he falls into a ravine.
The risks we take for y’all 🤣🤣🤣

Those Doner Kabobs are soooo good. Had the lamb version in Germany
I’d like to try that sometime!
Did the prepared salads hold up ok or did the lettuce wilt badly?
We usually ate them the day we bought them, so we didn’t have a problem and found them quite fresh.

And to be fair, the Pilgrim Meals are plenty of food. But yes, we found them to be more expensive than we really wanted.
You mention $100/day. Is that for both of you or each?

@@tendegreeswarmer Thanks for the quick reply. I'm on video #23 and enjoying all of them.

Sounds like I won't do well as someone who is gluten free?
