Staying in albergues most nights? Absolutely.Would an average daily budget of €75 be reasonable?
We went for 6 weeks in July August 2022 and some days 75 euro was enough for 2.. mostly 40 to 50 euro each.. with treat of air-conditioning hotel few times along way.. it tends to even itself out over 5 to 6 wks..Staying in albergues most nights? Absolutely.
When I was last on the Frances in 2018, I reckon the room prices were much higher. My recollection is that I paid 35-45E.Private beds ran about 25-35€ in a hotel. If you can share a room with someone, it lowers the price a lot.
I know there are lots of discussions about costs, and I'm probably being a bit lazy not fully searching this site, but at a glance most of the posts are from previous years, and I'm interested in the most up-to-date info available.
Just wondering what a reasonable daily budget would be for the CF in spring 2023, taking into account the following:
- dorm room accommodation 5-6 nights/week. Mixture of municipal and private
- private room in albergue or cheap hotel/pension 1-2 nights/week
- simple typical breakfasts of coffee, juice, pastry or tortilla
- simple lunches at cafes or from supermarkets
- pilgrim dinners or menu of the day dinners
- a variety of drinks/snacks each day, such as canned soda and beer (maybe a couple a day)
- walking solo, for around 45 days
Would an average daily budget of €75 be reasonable? Understanding that some days will be higher and some lower.

In March i gave myself a budget of 50€ a day over the 32 days on the camino Frances so on the 7th day I found that I had spent far less so treated myself to a private en suite at a pension , feeling the need of being on my own and getting an early night , however it could be more expensive now with the cost of living etc which is affecting every country ..looking back when I return to do it again I may do stealth camping for 6 nights a week and rest up in a pension for one night .I know there are lots of discussions about costs, and I'm probably being a bit lazy not fully searching this site, but at a glance most of the posts are from previous years, and I'm interested in the most up-to-date info available.

I completed my Camino SOLO (May/June 2022) from SJPP , 34 days of walking on the Camino plus 6 rest /sight seeing days in Pamplona, Logrono,Burgos, Leon ,Sahagun and Sarria .. with a wee bit careful, I was able to stay around average of 75 Euros a day, nothing fancy , all pre booked private albergues , few nights was alone in the private rooms ,I know there are lots of discussions about costs, and I'm probably being a bit lazy not fully searching this site, but at a glance most of the posts are from previous years, and I'm interested in the most up-to-date info available.

Bless at least you both back home safely , good thing it is only a short Camino , I did it in 2014 over 6 days but must say the Frances route was very lovely and hope to return soonJust back from the Ingles, where we both got Covid and had to spend a week quarantining in a private room. make sure you have the ability to cover some unexpected expenses.
Stick to Cava and there will be no problem at all.To celebrate the daily achievement with a bottle of Champagne the 75 Euros a bit tight
or Radler!Thanks all for sharing updated costs. Sounds like I should be ok with a budget of 75 euros/day. Any savings will be spent on many glasses of fresh squeezed orange juice.
I had to google that. Had never heard of it before. Sounds refreshing!or Radler!
Yup\I had to google that. Had never heard of it before. Sounds refreshing!
According to Wikipedia the Radler was first sold in 1922 at a very famous restaurant closeby Munich. Reason should have been that beer runs out and therefore was mixed with lemonade. As Munich and surrounding villages are famous for beer this story makes sense. Come to Munich and try. At world famous Beerfest in Munich this Radler is available as wellYup\
didnt know the thing existed until i went on Camino. In Puerta la Reina some of my fellow Pilgrims asked me if I had tried the "Lemon Beer" yet when i ordered my beloved Estrella. I said No...and that was a beginning of a beautiful love relationship. I was just ordering Lemon Servesa from that moment on and then someone said Oh yeah - Radler! And that's how I found out that "it has a name". The most common one bottled that I saw was Amstel but there are others
Quite hard to get it here in US - at least in my neck of the woods though. Shanties are not quite same....
Beautiful thing after a hard and hot day's walk
When I done my last two camino francesIf you are able to budget €75 per day you should be fine. We budget €150 -175 a day for two persons. Sharing a private room, mostly in small hotels, Casa Rurals In May, most of the rooms, already booked on Booking.com will average around €60 -75per day, except in SdC. If you can stay in hotels some cities on weekdays M-TH, they are often less expensive than weekends on the CF. we also eat a sit down main meal daily, either del dia or off the menu and do splurge on occasion. We usually eat supper in our room and breakfast on the way. The two smaller meals run us 20-25 euros in toto for two.
If you are traveling in the Spring and are on the Camino on May 1st be aware that certain towns raise their prices significantly, e.g. Ponferrada, where private rooms often double. That weekend from Astorga to Ponferrada beds usually fill up early in the small towns as well. Therefore if in this area, then, book ahead!
I just finished, and I did pretty much all those things you mentioned. And I ate a lot!I know there are lots of discussions about costs, and I'm probably being a bit lazy not fully searching this site, but at a glance most of the posts are from previous years, and I'm interested in the most up-to-date info available.

Love Radler. It’s everywhere in Spain and pretty common in Germany too!According to Wikipedia the Radler was first sold in 1922 at a very famous restaurant closeby Munich. Reason should have been that beer runs out and therefore was mixed with lemonade. As Munich and surrounding villages are famous for beer this story makes sense. Come to Munich and try.

Very different indeed. Radler tends to be lower in alcohol than the standard beers. I'd need quite a few under my belt before I'd attempt any shanties!Quite hard to get it here in US - at least in my neck of the woods though. Shanties are not quite same....
Supermarkets in Spain tend to sell quite a few Radler brands included ‘no alcohol’ versions!Very different indeed. Radler tends to be lower in alcohol than the standard beers. I'd need quite a few under my belt before I'd attempt any shanties!
Shortly after my return home I found a Sam Adam's limited edition Radler with 6.5%Very different indeed. Radler tends to be lower in alcohol than the standard beers. I'd need quite a few under my belt before I'd attempt any shanties!
I am a San Miguel larger man my self, and when i stop at the end of the day, its usual for me to have a Grande very large glass of the above...I think i deserve it after all that walking..also it tastes deliciousSupermarkets in Spain tend to sell quite a few Radler brands included ‘no alcohol’ versions!
