[QUOTE="Br. David, post: 69398, member: 10640"] True, a good average - though the daily costs can be quite a lot less. If you live simply then you don't have to buy coffee or cold drinks or ice cream. You don't ever have to buy a meal in a cafe, nor wine. It is really simple to carry food with you - for instance, were you to carry sausage, cheese, tomatoes, and bread and water then this will do very well during the day. If you also carry some dried pasta then it is a simple thing to boil it up in the evening, add some cheese and herbs - voila! simple meal. If you carry salt, pepper, some herbs, and olive oil with you then you are pretty independent. The extra weight is much less than you think it may be - pasta is hydrated, as are some soups. When stopping over in a town with shops you could pick up something cheap and 'special' - salad stuff or a tin of beans, for instance. If you pass a shop selling apples cheap then buy a dozen and eat them all day. This would mean living a very simple independent life on the Camino. To some, the thought of eating the same meal every day is an absolute NO - but most people in the third world tend to eat the same food every day for years - it isn't a problem at all. The 'problem' would be were you to find a simple life difficult, and were you to miss the meeting of friends at cafes and bars - though you could join in but opt for one glass of the cheapest drink. That 'sitting in' can feel quite important at times, but the back yards of refuges have that too, as does sitting on a low wall outside the refuge, luxuriating in backpack free leisure - the view is free, as is the weather :wink: Were you to find yourself in a village with no shop to buy extras for your evening meal - well, you would always have your staples with you. Refuge prices vary - 3 to 8 really, so with an average of 6 you can live very well indeed on 12-15 euros a day, very well indeed. :wink: [/QUOTE]
