I think it will work well for an estimate.Can anyone confirm if this calculation (attached link) is still relevant? and gives a realistic estimate of what the accommodation and food costs. I plan to go next year (August, September) and need to know how much money I need to save. I intend to go all the way and think it will take me about 7 weeks.

Yes you can find these prices but you wont stick to them for long. My daughter and I just got back from 30 days and found spending a little more was worth it in most cases. The 5 dollar alburgues go fast and are usually very big and sometimes hard to get to sleep in and a good sleep will be worth more than you can imagine 2 or 3 times on you trip. We started to look for smaller places which are 8 to 12 euros much easier to relax in and communal meals are much more fun. The food is very good and you will find your favorites and food is what gets you through the day . Id say 5 for breakfast unless they had tortilla yum. Lunch was hard for us to find at times so i started to buy bread ham and cheese in the morning 3 euros however be ready to spend more on drinks in the afternoon it gets hot and an orange juice or cold water or beer will be welcomed. Dinner is more like 8 to 11 euros but some of the pilgrim meals we had at the top end were like feasts and were worth it now and again. Washing machines were more like 3 euros not many places had them of if they did the line to use them was long. Bring thin clothes, wash your stuff as soon as you can and hang it on your bed if the sun doesnt get the job done for you. the real money spent was at the farmacia lol my daughter happened to get blisters and a sore knee and i spent lots trying to keep her comfortable and going strong. Be prepared for the unexpected, the camino will take you where it wants and if you fight it you wont enjoy it.Can anyone confirm if this calculation (attached link) is still relevant? and gives a realistic estimate of what the accommodation and food costs.

Having just completed the walk from San Jean in about 45 days (Hurry Up is not my name), I can tell you I spent just under 1,000.00. Things like the Pilgrim's Menu are not worth the paper they are printed on and the municipal, parochial and especially the donativo albergues are inexpensive and a great value. I never had a problem finding a space. You can stay in private albergues but they are not necessarily better. I asked myself if I wanted to sleep with a number of other people with occasional snoring for 10.00 euros? Or have the same experience for 5.00 euros?. Eating on the cheap is fairly easy. I might add also that the beer and wine adds up as well.Can anyone confirm if this calculation (attached link) is still relevant? and gives a realistic estimate of what the accommodation and food costs.
