1. you will pay for your credencial, to stay in albergues and for your food and incidental expenses, but you don't 'pay to do the camino'. Pilgrims begin whenever, and wherever they want.Hello pilgrims, I have some very silly and obvious questions for you all! I am hoping to do the Camino from St. Jean-Pied-de-Port to Santiago next Spring. It will be my first camino and I am wondering:
That's it for now. I hope that someone can get back to me. Buen camino!!
- I know that you need to have the booklet which is stamped at the hostels, but do I need to pay to do the camino, or do pilgrims simply arrive and begin whenever they want?
- What is the best way to get to St. Jean-Pied-de-Port? [from the UK]
- Ideally, I would like to walk the camino when it isn't too busy. I know that it is very busy in the summer, but is the spring normally the same?
- What are the odds of getting lost? How often do you see the arrows?
- Obviously it is a very long route. Are there maps that you can collect/buy on the way?
- Has anyone walked through Pamplona during the bull run? Do you recommend doing this?

I walked through Pamplona during bull run, no problem, saw , enjoyed, then hit the trail and walked to puente le rains, planned, easy walk of 38 km.Hello pilgrims, I have some very silly and obvious questions for you all!

Withdraw euros from an ATM as needed, I visited the ATM when I got down to 50 euros or if I knew was passing through some small towns that had no ATM's. I spent about 30-40 euros a day, but I ate well, had my morning cafe con leche, even had ice cream on most hot days, might as well reward yourself after a long walk on a hot day.Hey everyone, you've all been so helpful! Thank you so much!!
Can I also ask, how much money do you all think that I should take with me?

Down and up, then down, none of it is particularly demanding for more than a few hundred meters. It is quite scenic, too.the stage O Cebreiro - Triacastela.

Not counting the travel to an from Australia, in 2010 I was averaging about 35 Euro/day including staying in a hotel in Leon. I then stayed in a more expensive hotel in Santiago, which raised the average to about 38 Euro/day. Other than the two nights in hotels, and another night in a shared room in a hostel, the rest of the time I stayed in albergues. I did not do Camino Fisterra, so don't know about that.How much money do people end up spending by the end of it? [including the trip tp Finisterre]
As a rule of thumb you can budget with 1 Euro / kilometre walked. That covers accommodation in refugios, wayside snacks bought in a supermarket and cooking your own meals in the evenings. Here some prices to give you some ideas, obviously you can always spend more money ;-)How much money do people end up spending by the end of it? [including the trip tp Finisterre]
