Based on the excellent suggestions by @nycwalking and @KinkyOne, ask yourself (if you don't already know) what are your life skills at hand, to offer in 'barter'?If I can get any pointers to get me to the 500-800 Euro budget
My husband and I are walking the Camino Frances next month. We are on an extremely tight budget as well. We are planning to sleep outside but with an albergue night once or twice a week. Food will be done on our own, with a couple lunches out a week. We have all our gear and yes it means carrying a bit extra, but we don't have any other options. I trust it will work out!
Does your travel budget of 500 to 800 Euros include the travel costs to SJPdP and back home from SdC?
If that's the case, I'd first check how much you have to pay for traveling to and from Spain, that's where you can save the most. Travelling by bus is usually cheaper than flying, but it would take quite some hours from Denmark.
I found a flight from Billund for 100 Euros, back from SdC roundabout the same.
Then you'd have 300 to 600 Euros left for living.
How many days do you expect to be on the way? If you walk about 25 Kilometers it would take you about 30 days of walking with no rest days.
That would leave you with 10 Euros a day, if you have 300 Euros left per day, on 600 Euros it would be 20 Euros.
20 Euros a day is managable, I did that just recently in May and June on the Frances though not every day. 10 Euros a day I'd consider sleeping sometimes outside to stretch your money.

Spot on, funny we commented that same thing at almost the same time.Sometimes albergues will allow you to sleep outside in their yards, just fyi, and still use their shower and kitchen.
Last year I walked 21 days on Camino Portuges Interior + Sanabres + Fisterra & Muxia. Costs: 340 euros. Mind you these are hilly ones and not so many housing options in comparison to Frances where I guess I could manage under 450-500 euros. What it meant for me last year is walking on 17 euros a day, staying in municipal and private albergues and also in several hotels on the way where there were no other options. Self-catering all 3 weeks: did shopping in the supermarkets, cooked in the albergues, sometimes even without kitchens and cutlery - you can do a lot if you have a water coil and a spare cupI'm running low on my funds. I've heard of people doing the Camino Frances on a 500 Euro budget. If I can get any pointers to get me to the 500-800 Euro budget that would be exceedingly helpful!
