Carrying your own kitchenware on the Camino de Santiago

It is worth taking your own cooking pot on the Camino de Santiago?

One of the things that are famous about the Xunta’s hostels on the Way of St. James, besides the mistreatment of many of its managers and the lack of blankets, is the lack of kitchenware in most of their kitchens.

We had proposed several solutions to this problem a year ago, including carrying a camping kitchen kit. This option is more economical but somewhat more uncomfortable, as you have to carry extra weight and volume.

We decided to do the experiment of cooking for many days in Galicia, using only this kit.

In this video we will talk about the kitchens of the Xunta’s hostels, our experience cooking with this minimal kitchenware; the positive and negative aspects; whether, in our opinion, it was worth it or not, and some ideas to reverse the situation.
