The modern Camino has experienced a major renaissance. It is now internationally known and a whole infrastructure has developed. This includes a network of hostels which offer free lodging for registered pilgrims. | ![]() |
Tips: The pilgrimage is one of the best buys for the
European traveler. Food prices and
lodging are reasonable. Lodging ranges from free to $50 or $60 US dollars.
Two and
three star hotels are at the upper range. Smaller towns and villages have
better rates than
the cities of Leon, Burgos, Pamplona. Meals are substantial, often more
than you can eat.
Small markets are frequent along the route. There you can buy cheese,
bread, cold cuts,
canned white asparagus, fresh produce and fruit. All the staples you need
for superior
pilgrim meals. A small collapsible cooler will protect your perishables
and film from summer
heat.
