Are there ATMs where I can withdraw money along Camino Ingles? i scouted the route thru google and i saw it passes thru towns so I assume there will be along the way. I may withdraw maybe twice along the route cause I don't want to carry a substantial amount of money while walking.

and, how much do you need to carry per day as reference?

Thanks! Buen Camino!

If you search the Mastercard site it tells you exactly where ATMs are and how many too. Most likely places to type into the search are Pontedeume; Betanzos; Segueiro as well as Ferrol and Santiago. The ATMs to go for are the bank ones rather than the financial institutions.

If you have the CSJ guide then you can estimate how much you personally need per day. It depends partly on the cost of albergues/hostales etc plus your food.

I found that carrying no more than 200 euros at a time...was plenty. As long as you don't splurge. Then again, I don't consider a cerveza or two splurging.

Buen Camino,

I should have added that most ATMs have a cash limit of 250 or 300 euros, as do most cards. Drawing the maximum allowed keeps costs down, and we never wait until we are 'broke' before looking for a machine.
