I ate a lot of fruit, nuts and vegies along the way that i bought in the
stores. Buying food in the super market and cooking is the best way for
meals but we ate out most of the time. For most meals I ate the ensalada
mixta sin atun, french fries, pan and red wine to drink (not really a
bad meal). I looked for special restaurants in big cities and found some
<font face="Arial, Helvetica" size=2>vegetarian restaurants even in
Santiago. Italian means pasta and tomato sauce. Stay away from soup
due to meat stock. I don't do cheese milk butter or honey so I sort of
had to work at it, but I stuck to the plan. It was a lot of fun and a
great experience. Dang, I wish I was there now saying things like 'No
Carne' <br><br>
Good Luck.<br><br>

with an ensalada mixta sin atun for you. I threw in the towel and ate
everything, though I also met a guy from Holland making a movie about the
camino last month who will talk about "another f-ing tortilla".
Good luck. <br>

you, Jean, for posting this, it was helpful. I got one question though...
How's the situation for a vegetarian on el Camino? Obviously, cooking in
refugios won't be a problem, but eating out? Will I find myself living on
omelettes and bread?</font>

in every town which offer a "menu del dia" which consists of a
1st plate (usually a choice of a large interesting salad, or a pasta dish
or home-made soup) a 2nd plate of French frys and mystery meat or stew,
bread, postre (dessert or ice cream, flan or a piece of fruit) and
