[QUOTE="Pathfinder075, post: 1172548, member: 45712"] It's as expensive or as cheap as you want it to be. If you eat food in restaurants for all meals then it will be expensive. if you stay in private albergues or hotels, it will be expensive. It never was cheap for those options. If you self cater, use a tent, live frugally, then 20-25 euros a day is more than possible. I walked in 2015 and 2016 and was doing about 15-17 euros a day without any issue, including 3 healthy meals a day. So badly behaved pilgrims are expected. People tend to lack manners and good sense, so if it spills on to the camino are you really surprised? At least we don't have those zombies you find in Nottingham and Manchester to deal with yet. Be thankful of those things. On my first camino myself and the dorm I was in at Sarria (convent albergue on the hill) had to deal with 20 school kids aged around 14. There teacher decided for some dumb reason that these kids should go out and drink much alcohol. It was absolute mayhem. Eventually some guy snapped and went ballistic (in English), put the fear of God into them, I seriously thought he was going to drag them out and give them a good pasting. Talked about throwing them all out and calling the police. That was what it took for them all to shut up. After that incident (one of many on that session), nothing surprises me when I go to Spain (and why i will never walk through Sarria ever again). Ear plugs or selective hearing are your best tools for dealing with noise, or a good set of mp3's to listen to. As for the botafumeiro, have you ever seen it swing? If not, well it's worth seeing. But if you have seen it swing, then not seeing it swing is irrelevant. it swings the same way pretty much each time. I don't go to mass to see it swing, I go to mass to do church/pilgrim related things. ;) [/QUOTE]
