Dinner on the Camino de Santiago
What to eat for dinner (supper) on the Camino de Santiago.

By Damian Corrigan, About.com

Most pilgrims wait until the evening to get their main meal of the day on the Camino de Santiago. Usually at least one restaurant in town will do a 'menu del peregrino' (pilgrim's menu), with two courses, a dessert and a drink for under 10 euros. These can sometimes be quite basic, at others they are excellent meals at any price, let alone this cheap.

The best menu del peregrino that I had on the Camino was at Como Sapiens in Atapuerca - well worth a stop if you're there for there night. (There was also an excellent albergue here too).

However, night time is not the best time to have your main meal of the day if you've been walking all morning. You should really try to have a bigger meal at lunchtime and just have something small in the evening.
