One of the real "treats" of walking any Camino is the food. It is outstanding in both Spain and Portugal! From a very simple torta or pie to a fancy seafood dinner, one can eat very well both on the Camino and at the end of the day once the walking shoes are off. Almost every café/bar offers some sort of tasty torta or sandwich to get the pilgrim through mid-day. We never packed a lunch, but instead looked forward to finding a café/bar to take a well earned break and enjoy some of the food hikers as well as locals consumed with gusto. One doesn't want to overdo it mid-day with many more kilometers yet to walk, but a slice of tortilla de potato, a torta, or even a sandwich with their delicious Iberian ham is enough before trekking on to find that night's albergue.
