Q: What are the meal times on the Camino?

Most commonly in Spain, breakfast is served between 7:00 and 10:00 a.m., lunch between 13:00 and 15:30 p.m. and dinner between 20:00 and 22:30 p.m. Although it is common for Camino accommodations to have flexible schedules, it is important to keep in mind that in some places or venues, schedules may be more limited to adapt to the needs of pilgrims coming from outside Spain.

Enjoy the gastronomy without worries during your Camino with our dietary service.

Our meal service in accommodations and restaurants is available in all our itineraries. We include breakfast by default in our routes, but you can also choose to hire half board, depending on your needs.

What is included?

Breakfast only

We include breakfast in our packages by default, since the accommodations we work with offer it on a regular basis. For accommodations that do not have restaurant service, you will receive a voucher for breakfast at the nearest cafeteria or restaurant.

Half Board

Our half-board travel packages generally include breakfast and dinner. This regime is usually applied during the trekking stages, but not in the larger stops, where there is a wide range of restaurants.

Full Board

Full board includes breakfast, lunch and dinner, but this is not very common on the Camino. It is complicated to organize meals because it is difficult to predict the exact time you will arrive at the restaurants, as it depends on factors such as walking pace and stops.
