Technical backpack for day trips with backpack cover and internal compartment for the hydration bladder. Ideal daypack for excursions where we need a medium capacity backpack. The back with Air Flow System creates large air channels that will keep our back as cool as possible.
My son and I travelled last year, and for the most part, sleeping in dormitories, and not necessarily eating the pilgrim's meals every night, but having good food anyway, we spent between 25 and 30 Canadian Dollars each day (each of us)... I think you would be spot on with 25 to 30 american,
best wishes for your trip!
I spent $40 canadian each day. which is pretty close to $40 USD right now.
The Euro was $1.35 Canadian when I was there, April/May of 2010
I don't know about 22 days. Saint Jean Pied du Port to Santiago is 780 kms so you need to walk an average of 35 kms every day. While many people bang off 1 or 2 days over 30 kms, I think an average of 20 to 25 kms per day and 31 to 33 days is more common. I met two Germans who covered the distance in 25 days, but I think they were on drugs.
You'll figure it out.
Have a blast.

The first edition came out in 2003 and has become the go-to-guide for many pilgrims over the years. It is shipping with a Pilgrim Passport (Credential) from the cathedral in Santiago de Compostela.
My budget was 30 Euro a day, not including unexpected expenses like having to buy shoes in Logrono or a knee brace in Ponferrada. I easily could have gone on 20-25 Euro/day, but liked having a little extra padding on my budget for fun things like museum admission or a jar of peanut butter (which really was a treat!).
One death attributed to a heart attack last week.
Two pelegrinos gored, one seriously.
One broken leg and many ending in Pamplona due to knee and leg and ankle injuries.
Is it possible to confirm...
Hello.
I am considering walking the Camino for the first time this fall, probably beginning the third week of September in St. Jean. But I keep reading about how crowded the Camino is, including...
Hi everyone --
After walking the Frances from SJpdP last October, I'm planning to revisit the bit between Logrono and Burgos this July, following different stages. It's the section where I had...
I started out from Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port on 1 May. It turned out to be an unforgetable day. Above 1,000 m or so it snowed, catching many people unprepared. Later that day "many" walkers were...
And another attempt looms, to buy a decent Poncho after trying and failing in the previous two likely towns.
Anyone know where an Altos or similar might be bought in Leon, please?
😁
