Each, I assume? That’s good going.I see lots of people asking re cost…. My hubby and I have just done 18 days Santo Domingo to Astorga. Using dorm beds and a mix of Peregrinos Menu / self catering, stopping for coffee a couple of times a day and generally but not always taking our own breakfast/lunch .. we have averaged out at €25 a day excluding getting to and from Camino. Less than I was expecting…
That's very good, in fact quite amazingly economical, I'd say. Last year I managed a few €40 - 50 days; one albergue was about €22 for dinner & bed. It would be interesting to read how others have managed.I see lots of people asking re cost…. My hubby and I have just done 18 days Santo Domingo to Astorga.

Oh yes, each!!Each, I assume? That’s good going.
I see from one of your earlier posts that you averaged €17 a day on your Camino Francés in 2019. So I guess that these are the benchmarks for comparison of average daily cost:I see lots of people asking re cost…. My hubby and I have just done 18 days Santo Domingo to Astorga.

I guess we are quite frugal - on my own I did €15 in 2019… mostly self catering. As someone said above menu and bed somewhere around €21-23 but obviously if you cook up some pasta and veggies much less.In 2019 I had daily expenses of 23€ in average. Excluding transportation.
I didn't expected that 25€ is possible in 2023.
I went to a Michelin recommend restaurant in Logrono a few days ago. That put me a little over budget for that dayKudos to you. I am too much of a foodie not turn down a menu del dia everyday, that alone would bust your budget.
Did go for the Menu de peregrino on 75% of my walking days. Other days selfcatering or fruits from the supermercados. Almost every time it was excellent value for the money.I guess we are quite frugal - on my own I did €15 in 2019… mostly self catering.

Was in Lume (1 star) just a few days later! Exceptional... 2 of us with the full 7 courses each and we shared the wine pairings for each (else we'd have been under the table!). Came to less than an ordinary meal out at a medium reasonable gastro-pub at home.i went to one in Santiago, acona , in my hiking boots. the meal was 10 courses for 44€ but the wine cost almost the same. just get house wine...but it was delicious on my 68th birthday, 15 May, and straight after 7pm mass in the cathedral, where the Botufumeiro was unexpectedly swung. Talk about blessings. But yes, cost equivalent of 6 pilgrim meals...a blow out
Please, when mentioning Donativo Albergues, they should not be considered a “cheap” alternative! The generous donations they receive help keep this ancient tradition alive!Thank your for the information. Reassuring for those who want to walk but are on a low budget!
Cooking your own dinner and preparing/carrying your own breakfast/lunch really helps to keep cost low, as does using albergues (especially cheaper municipals and parroquials).
Even if it's not possible to do that every day, it still helps if you choose those cheaper options when possible, at least from time to time.
Buen Camino!
Couldn’t agree more- always spend more on donativo days to show gratitude for generosity and hopefully to make up a bit for those who cannot afford or chose not to be generous back…Please, when mentioning Donativo Albergues, they should not be considered a “cheap” alternative!

The minimum amount for a bed is between 8-10 euro’s otherwise they can’t pay the bill for electricity, water etc.Please, when mentioning Donativo Albergues, they should not be considered a “cheap” alternative! The generous donations they receive help keep this ancient tradition alive!
