Actually, in donativos you are often ask to pay what you can, or what you think is fair. And if you think about it, the albergue needs to make up the money those who cannot pay a typical rate don't pay. So perhpas you can even leave a bit more than normal, as a way to sponsor those who need the lower price.Welcome to the forum Jerri!
That there would be no misunderstanding - "donativo" does not mean that if you want to pay-pay, if you do not - not need.
Usually, the minimum amount is that would be paid to municipal albergue (>6€).
Buen Camino, m
Ditto Jerri, we are thinking the same.......may see you there as we anticipate departing St Jean 18/9 then no further plans until departing Madrid 9th Nov.......This is also our first camino.......There's lots of info and i'm sure you will work out a budget closer to your needs....cheers Road WarriorsI am so excited to be planning my first Camino.

Warning, if you become addicted to the wonderful fresh orange juice in Spain you could blow your budget on orange juice alone!
I reached the top of Alto de Perdon on a particularly hot day, and quickly downed two glasses of OJ at an oasis of a food truck there. The best orange juice I've ever tasted.
And while it's cheaper than fresh OJ at home, a glass will set you back between 2 to 3 Euros.
This is why this forum can be so helpful - there's people from all backgrounds here. One needs 150 Euros per day, one 15, or even less... and it's all fine.
