Hi
The route from Madrid to Sahagun is 320 kms long and would take an average walker approximately 12 days. From Sahagun on the Camino Frances to Santiago the route is 367 Kms - the entire route would take me approximately 27 days.
It is up to you if you wish to take the bus or train for part of the jounrey. There is public transport on both routes albeit few and far between in the rural areas of the Madrid - Sahagun stretch.
The Route from Madrid is unlikely to be busy but the albergues are not as frequent as on the Camino Frances. Check out the guide: http://www.csj.org.uk/guides-online.htm
Please consider leaving a donation.
20€ per day is a very tight budget in my view. However if you buy your own food out of supermarkets with an occassional Menu of the Day then it could be done I suppose. The problem on the Madrid Route is if you have to use a hostal rather than an albergue.
Good luck!
