Post by Wynette: Yesterday we had a great menu del dia at a seaside restaurant. Below are photos of the menu (where you choose a first course and and a second course and a desert and also get bread and beverage all for a fixed price) and the carta where you choose individual items (a la carte). I noticed “Precio tupper 1 euro” at the bottom of the carta. I was particularly interested in this because we had a lot of leftovers and wanted to take them with us since we were going to be staying in an airbnb with no nearby store or restaurant for eating later. I looked up “tupper” in Google translate and it said “Tupperware”. I told Charlie I bet that is what the Spanish call any take-home container. I surreptitiously saved some of our leftovers in a plastic bag because I didn’t know how they would feel about my asking for them to be bagged up like we do in the States. I decided to ask about this on the Camino forum last night. Got some interesting replies. Found out it is just fine to ask and there is a new law in Spain requiring restaurants to comply with requests to take home leftovers. Here is link to that forum discussion: https://www.caminodesantiago.me/community/threads/restaurant-leftovers.79932/
