Great idea, @Robo!
Might just be my phone but, I got an error message.
I do love a good spreadsheet, though while on Camino I like to let go a bit and not worry too much. The only glaring error I see is the lack of an erm....how can I put this- "recreational" beverage section. That takes up far more of my budget than I'd like to admit.
Obviously no spreadsheet can be perfect as prices change from place to place but this would be great for coming up with a ballpark figure.
Good work @Robo
I love it, Rob. It's fun looking at your spreadsheet. I'm thinking it is the exact thing a lot of new member's ask about when they are looking at planning their caminos.
It would make a great addition to the Resources section
I kept details on my 2015 pilgrimage and produced a spreadsheet for the interest of other folks trying to plan expenditure. I hope you may be able to see it - otherwise, drop me a message and an e-mail address! View attachment 60280
Between Caminos I've been working on my budget planner (as well as packing list and distance planner) As You do....
I'd welcome some feedback. Particularly:
If you think it might be a useful resource, particularly for new Pilgrims I'm happy to refine it based on feedback and upload it. Though spreadsheets are not allowed. Have to think of a way to do that.
- What I might have forgotten.
- Or the amounts I have budgeted for.
Here it is as a Work In Progress.
The exchange rate in this case is Aussie Dollars. And the particular Camino is VdlP.
I wanted to play with the % figures to see how much it would impact my budget.
So for example you can input 100% albergues, or whatever % you plan on.
The Hotel/CR amount might be too low, as larger towns will cost more.
It's interesting to see the overall % costs in the final column.
Anyway, interested to hear your thoughts.

Tried that, but you can't upload spreadsheets. (security issue I think)
A pdf version wouldn't make any sense.......
You need to be able to download it and put in your own data.
I might add it to my Blog as a downloadable file, if there is no way of sharing as a downloadable file here.
It'd be a bit of a pain but you could recreate it in Google Sheets and then share the link.
I just about choked on your total costs until I found out that you had bugeted for 56 days. Please proceed and disregard my concerns.
I thought of that, but the value is being able to enter your own data.
If shared on Google sheets, it's a shared resource, not an individual one.
But people could just copy it to their own sheet and use it as a template. I'm pretty sure there's an option to share but not allow changes. It's not ideal but better than nothing.

Pilgrimage V was in 2015, along the Ebro delta from San Carlos to Logrono: of my eight caminos, I think this was my favourite - so peaceful.Where did you start and finish? We were on the trail at the same time

How did you find the Camino Ebro - very hard finding information for doing that route I have found (only cycling routes). Any info that you have would be awesome.Pilgrimage V was in 2015, along the Ebro delta from San Carlos to Logrono: of my eight caminos, I think this was my favourite - so peaceful.
I love how the short answer is about €50 per day.
Ok. I’m set.
I've just spent an hour trying to find the answer too your question - and failed!How did you find the Camino Ebro - very hard finding information for doing that route I have found (only cycling routes). Any info that you have would be awesome.
I wish you the very best. I hope you have a contingency fund, somewhere. We always used the most basic accommodation, but not sleeping outside. Just be sure to have someone, somewhere, to help you if there is a problem. When we walked the Frances, and also on the Portugues, we walked along with some people who never bought a meal., I remember a young German couple who lived on 17 euro per day for the two of them, on the CP, but did they enjoy their final meal in Santiago in Casa Manolo! You bet. Buen camino.Thank you Robin and Stephen for sharing this info. It is interesting to see the variables. My husband and I begin our CF next month and I will document everything as well. We are on a very tight budget and I'm guessing future pilgrims in the same position will wonder about just how low the budget can go. We hope to sleep in an albergue every third or fourth night and eat a pilgrim meal a couple times a week, otherwise we're sleeping outside and doing our own food. It will be a challenge but it's necessary. It's now or never!
I didn't see anything happen on my smartphone when you posted the docs.google.com link. But spreadsheet instructions are just text, right? If so then enter the source into a PDF and put that into the resources with instructions to copy the highlighted text and create a file with it.If you think it might be a useful resource, particularly for new Pilgrims I'm happy to refine it based on feedback and upload it. Though spreadsheets are not allowed. Have to think of a way to do that.
I will check it out now - thank you so much. We are still trying to finalise how much time we will have (coming from Oz) and thus it will define our preferred routes. We also intend to do a very small amount of stealth camping (no fires don't worry) to test out gear for a long thru-hike of the PCT in the next year or so as well, so more remote hikes with fewer services will work well for us. We also take the "leave no trace" policy very seriously especially since we were both in the Air Force and it was ingrained into our heads.I've just spent an hour trying to find the answer too your question - and failed!
I loved that camino, Tina-Marie, and would happily walk it again were I not so old! Have you checked out my web site? My diary for the camino lists daily stops and distances. https://snicholl5.wixsite.com/home-site/santiago
You can always message me, or send me an e-mail. I'll help in any way I can!
Buen camino!
Love that idea! I will definitely be visiting your blog (again) soon to download ! Thank you!Tried that, but you can't upload spreadsheets. (security issue I think)

Sorry, Robo - only just seen this question. Started from Vinaros, thence to San Carlas de la Rapita on the Ebro Delta, then walked to Logrono. Beautiful peaceful camino. Full diary and photos on my web site.Where did you start and finish? We were on the trail at the same time
