Yodapsy said:In late June I will be starting the Camino Frances with my wife and two teen kids. We have to be careful with finances and wondering how much we can expect to spend per day for the four of us. We plan to stay in Albergues or whatever will be the cheapest method. Are there some ways that we can save money or lower costs as a family? We will be starting around the 27th of June and hope to finish around the 25th or 26th of July. We are also interested in meeting other families who may be planning to start around the same time.
Please remember that donativo does not mean free! They have lots of bills to pay! :wink:follow a similar strategy with lodging staying in the donativo albergues
Yodapsy said:, but will likely choose to have wine less often, so that when we do, we can get a decent bottle! BTW, what would be the average cost of a decent bottle of red on the camino?
Private albergues are trying to make a living for the owner/operator. Donativo places are run by volunteers, generally, and are trying to make the cost of the operation -- water, power, and consumables. With the least expensive hostel in the U.S. at $30, and the cheapest motels at $50, paying that amount would be completely inappropriate for a pilgrim who is trying to minimize cost.Think of what you would pay for similar treatment in your own country
