The daily cost on the Camino de Santiago are less than on an ordinary holiday, even less then a backpacking tour through Europe. Basically, the Spanish Caminos are cheap and the Caminos in France are more expensive. If you’re on a tight budget, you can make ends meet in Spain with 30 to 35 euros a day. For a whole Camino Frances of more than 30 days, the costs add up to about 1000 euros, plus the flight. If you have 1500 euros, you should be fine. However, if you have to limit yourself more, you can do it with less. I once walked a Camino on 15 euros a day!
