To eat well is important when you are walking the Camino de Santiago. The “Spanish Agency for Secure and Nutritional food” (Agencia Española de Seguridad Alimentaria y Nutrición (AESAN)) gives us some advice on this on their website (in Spanish).

You should know that the base of a good diet for a pilgrim consists of water and energy drinks, and foods rich in carbohydrates like bread, pasta, rice, potatoes, cookies, sweets, energy bars, fruit and nuts.

We would like to know your motivation for doing the camino de Santiago. We would like to know the reasons for why someone picks up a backpack and uses their vacation time walking large distances and end up in an uncomfortable albergues.

The camino de Santiago always brings along challenges, personal and in a group. A group of 30 bicyclists from the Basque country has set their goals on Santiago de Compostela.  A  decade ago, the members of the Club Erandioko Txirrindulari Elkartea did the Camino in 24 hours, by bike, starting from  Erandio in the province of Vizcaya. Now, the members will be trying to bike it from Hazaña.

The albergues in Melide offers several types of services to pilgrims. In this video the hospitalera gives us a tour of the albergues, including its rooms. She also shows us the process each pilgrim goes through each time the check into a new albergues, like getting your stamps and paying the fee the albergues charges.
