Can you walk the Camino on 30 euros/day?

  I keep a spreadsheet on my phone with my spending. It helps me stay on budget and with planning for future trips. It also reminds me where I stayed. Staying under budget each day is like a competition with myself.

  I remember my first Camino in 2006. I was doing Frances and it was impossible for me to go over 10 euros. That included everything. I went on Primitivo in 2019 and the cheapest bed was 12 euros. But at that time I could afford a bit of luxury I suppose.  I am going to do Frances this year and I am planning to stay on a budget simply because there are almost 30 days of walking and everything adds up.

  Hi Nadine, Very well done and informative.<br>We share the same Camino philosophy, basic accommodation, sandwich with cheap cheese and chorizo, drinking tap water, buy grocery for the evening (including a beer, well you got 2...) and cooking for 2 or 3, that&apos;s the perfect Camino

  I generally hand wash every day or so but I also carry a small netting(Ikea) washing bag. &nbsp;If I get the chance to share a machine wash every so often then my stuff can get washed in the bag. &nbsp;It weighs about 20g, is dual use &nbsp;and pays for itself.

  Currently on the Camino Frances. After 5 days the average is €18.

  The question is where to find free bathrooms. I would stop every 1-3 hours at a bar or cafe and get coffee and/or tortilla and use the bathroom both when I got there and when I left. &nbsp;Before Sarria, I was also able to use the bathroom in the bushes (or honestly just a couple feet from the path) because there were not so many people around, but after Sarria I found it quite challenging to have time without pilgrims in view so that necessitated buying something each time I needed to use the bathroom.

  I did the Primitivo a year ago, and my average expense was €35, alternating between public and private albergues, usually one meal at the restaurant and the rest on a picnic. And not many beers and coffees. This does not include travel and stay in Santiago

  Hi Nadine - thanks for the video! I intended to keep track of my spending but that only lasted a day or two. 30 euros a day was less than what I spent, but I did mix up dorms with private rooms and definitely enjoyed a pilgrim meal or menu del dia most days, as well as a second breakfast! 😅

  I&apos;ve mentioned this before, but a 2EUR bottle of lavender &quot;granny&quot; scented shower gel was used for all my showers and clothes washing by hand from Estrella to Santiago which was really good. I usually did a machine wash once a week, but it was still not too expensive.
