Excellent Website with tons of information

[Kerstin]

For those of you who understand Spanish, here is an excellent site with by far the best information I have so far found in the internet.

Every part of the route is perfectly explained, with reliefs and detailed descriptions of ALL official and private albergues on the way, sightseing, monuments, photos, info about public transport, tips for planning the trip...

Try it out - I would appreciate a feedback :mrgreen:

Yes, it is an excellent website - and it is the one we recommend to calculate your budget.

 

[Kerstin]

Right, Sil. .

Based on the average's pilgrim consumtion of red wine? ;-)

Or white!!

Click on:

http://caminodesantiago.consumer.es/calculadora/ to estimate your budget whilst walking.

If offers an estimate based on accommodation only or accommodation, food etc.

EG: If you are walking from St Jean to Santiago and click on Alojamiento + Manutención
it will estimate 840 euro

You can do an estimate for most towns on the different routes in Spain

I love this site too! I love the interactive map. I've given it to my friends/family as a link so that they can see more or less what I'll be watching each day. Even if you do not know Spanish the map is really useful. If you do know Spanish the whole site is great.

Hola viajero,

this is a wonderful idea, I will send the Link to my family too. Thank you!

This is a great site- thank you for introducing me to it!

In case anyone is planning on relying on it, I just wanted to add that the list of albergues is not entirely comprehensive - several I stayed in are not listed. It is always worthwhile comparing a couple of sources as the information changes regularly and despite everyones best efforts lists are quickly slightly outdated.
