    How much did you spend and what was the total cost of your Camino Frances, start to finish?

    Is there a reason you believe this to be an austere estimate? I'm attaching the planning sheet, which is 100% shelter stays with costs pulled from Gronze, and estimating $17 per dinner, with a basic cheap breakfast or lunch Anything you see that catches your eye?

    How much did you spend and what was the total cost of your Camino Frances, start to finish?

    I pulled the cost of each shelter from Gronze, looking only at the shelters open in February. For donation shelters I input €10, and calculated the average for all of them. Did you stay at shelters the whole way through, or hostels? If shelters, especially if your €12 is from public shelters...

    How much did you spend and what was the total cost of your Camino Frances, start to finish?

    A sincere thank you to everyone who has been helpful! The reason I ask is that people online will always point toward an average per day figure that uses only pilgrim menu and accommodation costs. However, I had a strong feeling, now confirmed, that real world costs typically go beyond that of...

    How much did you spend and what was the total cost of your Camino Frances, start to finish?

    This is exactly why I am asking. People can provide all the projections in the world for per day spending but I would like to see what the real world results are. For people mentioning variables, yes, so please explain them! Please say how much it cost, how much you were planning to spend, and...

    How much did you spend and what was the total cost of your Camino Frances, start to finish?

    I understand that there are general guidelines of 20-40 Euros a day depending on your accommodations. I am not asking for an estimate on per-day spending. All things considered, from Saint Jean to Santiago or Muxia, how much did you spend from start to finish? What was the total cost of the...

    Winter sleeping bag? 0C or colder?

    Thanks for following along, Tom! Gronze is actually what helped with the decision making. I went stage by stage and looked at the available shelters. These excel screenshots show shelter availability in February:

    Winter sleeping bag? 0C or colder?

    440 grams, 1 pound My concern is not so much weight but comfort (overheating ir freezing) What about the 30F bag and a sleeping bag liner? Does anyone have a sleeping bag liner they recommend that could serve as the 10F bridge?

    Winter sleeping bag? 0C or colder?

    Your response is the one that worries me the most. Various people have different answers, some saying albergues are warm and others that it is cold. I am also worried about the heating costs meaning no heat. We have two options: a 30F sleeping bag rated for 40F comfort or a 15F sleeping bag...

    Winter sleeping bag? 0C or colder?

    I found a bag that is rated for -2 C comfort. Would that be good do you think? I'm assuming with the low winter traffic the shelters will be more reluctant to turn on the heat fully Assuming he can just open it up if things are warmer

    Winter sleeping bag? 0C or colder?

    My cousin is planning a Camino Frances for February, starting February 1. How cold does it get inside the albergues in winter? What level sleeping bag would he need? Given the scarce accommodations in wintertime the plan is for him to have at the very least a sleeping bag and sleeping pad...
