Hi falcon, Thanks for your reply, When did you do your camino, And what time of the year do you think is best?That is a decent budget. If you need to, you can beat it, but you will have a great time on that amount.
I don't think this is a good approach, especially for those planning to walk shorter distances each day. The reason is that the major cost drivers are accommodation and meals, both daily costs, NOT distance related costs.Hola and happy new year
Another often used 'calculator' for the budget is 1 € pr. km.
Saint Jean to Santiago would sum up to 850 €.
Add the unexpected and 1000 € will do well for primary inexpensive Albergues, Menu del Dia or Perigrinos,
layover days etc.
Buen camino
Lettinggo
Last year [I can say that now!!] I did a day by day analysis of expenditure:
Average per day:
€ 2.50 Breakfast
€ 7.44 Lunch
€ 8.77 Dinner
€ 3.31 Light refreshments
€ 22.66 Accommodation
€ 4.84 Other expenses
There weren't many albergues on my route [Lisbon to Porto] so hostals were the norm with a few albergues included. So total = 50 Euros a day including all meals and accommodation. Full details on the web site ["Pilgrimage III"]
Hope this helps!

Thank you

If you do want to take the risk of this approach, I suggest you use 1.5€ / km to give a more realistic estimate that includes some contingency.
