Carrying coins and small change

[Nicolam]

Can anyone tell me how much small change and small notes to carry from SJPP? Just thinking about weight but aware some places will only take cash. Thanks

Hi Nicolam - My thoughts are to carry enough to get you through to Pamplona. My budget runs around 30 euros per day so I'd round up to 100 euros and reload in Pamplona. I also hide about 100 euros in emergency money and make sure I don't need to dip into it for the duration of the trip.
Hope you have a great experience... Buen Camino!

p.s. unless you're in a hotel, major grocery store, sporting goods store, etc, almost everywhere will likely be cash only.

I agree with what @jozero says. There is no particular need to carry coins but you should have denominations of 20 Euros or less for buying a coffee or snack.

We (wife and I) are currently walking the Camino France's and carry a small purse with 50€ in various notes/coins.
In our passport travel wallet we have 300€ to top up our purse.
ATM's are plentiful in larger towns, some charge fees (Zubiri 5€ fee).

Buen Camino
