butcher along the camino frances

[givney]

I'm planning my trip for Sept-Oct 2010. I am traveling with my service dog. while finding food for myself is not as difficult, my dog thankfully eats a raw diet so all he needs are a couple of good raw meaty bones a day. So for those who have traveled the camino do you know if there are butcher shops along the way in the smaller villages. I am bringing the rainfly and footprint of my tent to camp in.

thank you all

Spain is a carnivorous country! I don't think you'll have any problems finding juicy bones for your dog. The few accounts I've read of pilgrims with dogs, have commented on the kindness of the locals, butchers, restaurant owners and other pilgrims.
It might help to learn a few relevant words - butcher = carnicero butchery = carniceria dog = perro dog bones = huesos de perro.
Good luck!

I think it's amazing that you and your fur-friend are traveling together! Make sure you care for your friend's feet as well as your own. Best of luck to both of you!
