Camino on a Budget: Our Daily Routine & Money-Saving Tips
Camino 慳錢大法：我哋嘅每日 Routine 同 Budget 全公開
The Camino doesn't have to cost a fortune! 🥙 We cook breakfast and dinner from supermarket staples, eat pilgrim menus (€12-15) or kebabs (€5-10) for lunch, and sleep in public albergues (€10 a night or donation). Add a 7-8 kg backpack and zero shopping urge — money saved! 👍
💡 Cook breakfast and dinner from the supermarket, grab a kebab for lunch, sleep in public albergues, and let your 7-8 kg backpack kill every shopping urge — the Camino can be seriously cheap.
Food: cook your own, plus pilgrim menus & kebabs
Our food strategy is simple:
- Breakfast & dinner: bought from the supermarket and cooked ourselves — it saves money and keeps our energy up for a full day of walking!
- Lunch: we eat out — plenty of restaurants along the way serve pilgrim menus (usually €12-15)
- Our best value find: kebab! A filling meal for €5-10 — the money-saving pick 🥙

Sleeping: public vs private albergues
For sleeping, albergues (pilgrim hostels) come in two types:
- Public: about €10 a night or donation-based — no reservations, so arrive early to grab a bed
- Private: roughly €15-20 a night — a bit more comfort, and you can book ahead
Want to save? Public is the way to go!

A 7-8 kg backpack = zero shopping urge
Carrying a 7-8 kg backpack every day means limited space — and no desire to add weight. Our shopping urge is literally zero — money-saving trick +1 👍
See a souvenir? We look, then remember we'd have to carry those extra grams for 15 km. Straight back on the shelf!
