Dutch - what if I increase the budget to 30 euros per day - $39 per person per day. That's $234 per person. I've looked at albergues costs and see that most places we should be able to say for appx. 10 euros per night - that's $13.25 per night, $79.5 per person for the six days walking. total...- Hroswitha

Dutch - if you think that $220 for six days is too little for food, I can up the ask to closer to $250 or $300. Right now, I'm just trying to get a general sense of costs. Parents won't be paying huge amounts for this trip, though. This is the way we're working it. Let's say the entire...- Hroswitha

Thank you everyone for the comments and suggestions. Faith - so you're estimating around $220 per person for the walking part of the camino, right? Instead of rail travel, we'd take the bus for only $20, and with a contingency fund in case the public albergues are full, the price I have listed...- Hroswitha

Flight pricing
I'm trying to get a good idea on the prices for flights from Chicago to Santiago. We're looking to go in June of next year, and will have 8 in the group. I have been guessing at prices around $1300 per person, but I also know that the time of year affects the price (June is the beginning of...- Hroswitha

Greetings to all. I'm presenting my proposal for a Spanish camino for June of 2015 this Sunday. We have a group of 5 teens (1 boy, 4 girls) and three adult chaperons. I have pared down the trip to the basics: fly to Santiago, public transport (preferably train) from Santiago to Sarria...- Hroswitha

If it were just me, I would do albergues and arrange a baggage transfer arrangement. I have a bad back and really don't want to do this in pain. There will be three adults on this camino, if we do it. Since we are planning for 4 girls and a boy, we'll have one adult male and two female...- Hroswitha

I posted earlier in this thread, and have done a lot of thinking and investigating. I've come up with a new and reduced plan, but more questions. We think we would like to fly in to Madrid, then take a train to Sarria. 6 walking days from Sarria to Santiago, two days in that town, then a...- Hroswitha

Thank you everyone who has been replying on this thread. Here are some thoughts I have about this now. I am coming to agree that visiting the Lascaux Caves should be taken off the table. I'm even willing to forego Paris if it means we can get the costs of this trip under control. I have a...- Hroswitha

This is an officially sponsored pilgrimage, and the teens of the church go on a trip like this every 3 years. Four adults will be going, but none of the parents of these kids. We will have one minister/priest with us to administer sacraments along the way. We will only walk the last 100 km of...- Hroswitha

Can someone give me an explanation of what an albergue is? What are the accommodations like, how large are the sleeping rooms, are showers available, can they be booked in advance? I may be able to sell this, but I would need more information.- Hroswitha

Thank you for the ideas. You're right - I was already questioning how far they could walk in a day and whether the last stretch could be done in 3 days. Please don't think the teens won't be meeting people - that's the whole point of this pilgrimage. However, they won't be sleeping in rooms...- Hroswitha

Kanga - are you thinking this is too much and too great a distance to do in 10 days? At this point, we can stretch it and, if we must, spend up to 14 days on the trip. There's a lot I don't know - how long it takes to walk the last leg of the journey, for example. Any advice or ideas will...- Hroswitha

The question on the type of lodgings the kids will be in isn't up to me. The church dictates a lot of this. The teens have to be fully chaperoned on the trip and will not be in intimate contact with anyone not vetted by them. Even the adults accompanying the kids have to go through a...- Hroswitha

Teenagers on pilgrimage summer 2015
I work with a group of teens at my episcopal church who are considering doing the Camino next summer. What we want to do is a little off the beaten track, and I'm having difficulty figuring out how to do this. They want to fly into Paris. From there, we want to pick up a guide and a vehicle...- Hroswitha
