Tapas
Tapas are small dishes of meats, cheese, fruits and vegetables deliciously prepared and served up in small portions. They're also for sharing with friends and enjoying with a glass of beer or wine.

Pilgrims' Menu
Many restaurants on the Camino offer a "Pilgrim's Menu" that usually consists of your choice of three courses - a starter, a main course and a dessert - and sometimes include a drink (coffee, tea, or if you're really lucky wine or beer). They usually cost about 10 euros, are very filling and usually tasty.
Everyday Meals
To save a little dough, we usually eat food we've bought from the supermercado (supermarket) for breakfast, lunch and sometimes dinner. This doesn't mean these meals aren't a five-star event though. For breakfast we usually eat dried chorizo and cheese, fresh bread from the panaderia and fruit. Lunch is often sardines or pâté and more bread and fruit (Spain seems to have as many different brands of sardines as their are colours under the sun and we've endeavoured to try them all). In the evening, if the albergue we're staying in has a good kitchen, we'll cook dinner using local fresh produce and delicious cured meats. Mmmm!

I found a decent Rioja for 2 euros. I could not believe it. Now I know why some restaurants sell house wine by the glass for so cheap.
If you can remember the name of that wine, I'd love it if you'd share--I'll keep it in mind for our next trip to Spain. I'm kicking myself now for not purchasing a case of wine to ship home while we were there. Talk about missed opportunities!
