I started off with €2200 but used my credit card for stays at hotels, purchases of new socks, visits to pharmacies, gifts for neighbors from SdC while I was off. My overall cost for 39 days came to €3200 including gift (I came home with about €70 cash).I have done it for under $20/day in 33 days, municipal hostels & donativos, and eating picnics and ramen for my meals, spending under $650 total, and I have just done it again this year, a few years older and more financially solvent for about $3,000 in 38 days, around $80/day using fairly inexpensive hotels and eating out most of the time (with cheap wine). The range is really whatever you want it to be.
Very funny, not! Just not real.Certainly everyone form Australia, New Zealand, north and central Europe and UK will have one!!
I don't drink either but through the meseta i indulged in daily cold Coke zero and ice cream. The cafe con leche and pastries were so much better than Star***** that I often had two breakfasts stops. My daily food budget went askew often. And i still managed to lose 15 pounds.Very funny, not! Just not real.
Even said in jest, it is verging on a being a pretty gross generalisation, and pretty insulting to those of us that don't drink alcohol as a matter of course, even on the Camino.
It is a generalisation Doug, and probably ‘generally’ true; I’m sure no offence was intended to those who abstain. Best wishesVery funny, not! Just not real.

I was rather surprised we North Americans weren't thrown under the "beer bus" with all the others.It is a generalisation Doug, and probably ‘generally’ true; I’m sure no offence was intended to those who abstain. Best wishes
Pheeew, Thank God, the Irish escaped this time.Certainly everyone form Australia, New Zealand, north and central Europe and UK will have one!!
You must be under the protection of the angel who plays that "harp".Pheeew, Thank God, the Irish escaped this time.
Harp is a popular drink here.You must be under the protection of the angel who plays that "harp".
No offence intended Chrissy - and I haven’t been to the US in nearly 30 years, since when I believe ‘craft beer’ has really taken off - but the beer on offer in the 90’s was truly abysmal.I was rather surprised we North Americans weren't thrown under the "beer bus" with all the others.
That is a joke Pat, right? I thought that the drink which claimed to ‘stay sharp to the bottom of the glass’ was thankfully buried in a lead box in the 80’s? If you were referring to the blessed Guinness itself, then, as you were. Carry on.Harp is a popular drink here.
I don't drink beer, but the guys in my family enjoy a "plethora" of craft beers that have taken off in the last decade+.I believe ‘craft beer’ has really taken off - but the beer on offer in the 90’s was truly abysmal.

Tell your cousin to go on his Camino and enjoy it, if he feels that he can't afford it then wait until he can.
Sorry but that was not meant to be snarky, if I feel that I can't afford a trip I don't go.very nice, very charitable pilgrim advice
Way back at post #11 I said I wouldn’t comment further on this thread … but here I am.very nice, very charitable pilgrim advice
I had been thinking it had morphed into a therapy thread.Perhaps it’s a good time to close the thread.
Oh, I am sorry for you.
I don't know how you can tell there was no offence intended. I contemplated that, and hope it is true, but as humour, it doesn't pass. A comment like that @wayfarer made, which takes the mickey out of his own country, passes muster as humour. So far as I can tell, @TravellingMan2022 has taken a swipe at a whole lot of countries other than his own. That other earlier post - not funny, insulting. I hope that 2023 isn't going to be marred by similar absurdities. This has derailed an otherwise useful thread. That's sad. Nuf said, as far as I'm concerned.It is a generalisation Doug, and probably ‘generally’ true; I’m sure no offence was intended to those who abstain. Best wishes
There always remains the option to not read everything on the internet …Way back at post #11 I said I wouldn’t comment further on this thread … but here I am.
I haven’t read every post, but there has been a great deal of charitable / well intentioned advice including from @wayfarer. And from an earlier post it seems you have the information you were after.
Perhaps it’s a good time to close the thread. The moderators will close a thread if the Original Poster asks them.
Well, to show that I’m at least flexible in my opinions, although not usually within a minute, I now concur with my esteemed colleague @PelerinaI don't know how you can tell there was no offence intended.

I can sense a padlock trundling down the road; but if I hurry up ..Locally know as Harpic.
Hmmm...I digress (no surprise there readers).

I have a local ‘gastropub’ called Heft. It is excellent and the name refers to the indigenous sheep which remain on the land where they are born, will not move and must be sold with the farm. I digress (no surprise there readers).
The prices are such that locally it’s known as Theft.
