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
Down bag (90/10 duvet) of 700 fills with 180 g (6.34 ounces) of filling. Mummy-shaped structure, ideal when you are looking for lightness with great heating performance.
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.
