Herbolario Chandra - Comillas

This shop has been replaced with an architect's office, May 2024

I was so happy to find this place. Yes, the shop is very small and the choice is not large, but it's better, than nothing vegan, as usually in small towns in Spain.

The north of Spain is a very meat and dairy heavy place. Doing the Camino de Santiago while eating vegan can prove challenging and while I've done it twice surviving on supermarket chickpeas, it's such a joy to find some vegan comfort foods and specialties along the way. It's the only store with vegan products in miles, the owner was incredibly nice and helpful and they offer some not so common items to find such as a delicious (albeit expensive) coconut yogurt. Seitán, tofu, cheeze, nooch... All available at a slightly higher price than what I'd get at Madrid but it's understandable given how niche this products may be in comillas.
