Rob do you have any comments or suggestions on how to budget for a Camino?
Hi Chris. Great question and a hard one to answer.
Here is a video on the topic and I would suggest adding about 10% to the costs to bring them up to date.
I’ll also do a blog post now explaining it further. I’ll add that link here too.

Hi Rob,
We arrived yesterday having walked the Camino Invierno from Ponferrada.
I must thank you for the inspiration you have given us to choose this particular Camiño.
We viewed your video clips before we left and are sure to watch them again when we get home.
The Invierno still has very few pilgrims. Some days we saw no one. The natural beauty was simply stunning.
What an experience. Where to next for us. Maybe the Primitivo.
Thanks again Rob
All the best,
Rob and Sarah Holmes.
Hi Rob and Sarah,
That’s great! So glad to hear you completed and enjoyed the Camino Invierno.
It’s such a beautiful route, and it sounds like you had a truly unique experience.
All the best to you both!
Buen Camino for the next one,
Rob
Hi Rob,
Fellow Aussi, aged 70, planning to walk for about 2 weeks with a friend late April, early May 2025, probably starting at Pamplona. Thanks for all your videos. Just saw your distance and speed video where you mentioned 3.5 kms/hr overall. How does this relate to your normal walking speed on the flat. I tend to walk 4.5 to 5 kms/hr. All the best, Bill
The 3.5 kph is my overall speed during the day. It’s just a planning figure and includes all my breaks. My actual ‘walking’ speed varies depending on terrain and energy levels. Anywhere from 4-5 kph.
