We´ve been buying groceries in order to save money on food. We average about 8€ per day. Our meals typically include bread, sardines, chorizo (spanish sausages), cheese, fresh tomatoes, cucumber, fruits - to ensure we´re eating healthy. Photos to come later. At each town on the Camino, restaurants and bars do offer Pilgrim Menus for pilgrims to eat a set menu for a cheaper price than tourists or locals would pay. The price ranges from 9€ to 12€. Since we are on the tight budget, we refuse to go with the Pilgrim´s Menu day after day.
On Day 7 however, we were so tired from walking in such a hot day that we decided to eat out for lunch when we were in the city of Logroño. This was also after we were told that Logroño offered really good food for a good price so we jumped all over the opportunity. We were quite surprised by what were put on our table. Photos to come later (sorry!)
Day 7 - Torres del Río to Navarette (32kms)
Brutal day. The hottest day thus far on our Camino. 3 blisters on my poor feet.
Mass made up for a tough day on the Camino. The Cathedral was absolutely beautiful. Photo later - again!
Day 8 - Navarette to Nájera (16kms)
We took it easy today to rest from a very tiring day yesterday.
Day 9 - Nájera to Sto. Domingo de la Calzada (21kms)
We took it a bit easy again today to give our feet more rest. I would encourage everyone who plans to do the Camino to bring a pair of walking poles/sticks to help with walking. The uphill and downhill are not necessarily that steep but nonetheless, hours of walking up and down hills can be tough on the knees.
