[Gocamino] Camino costs?

[Rosina]

A couple of years ago an Archconfraternity group made a study of the available information and concluded that the average cost of the Camino for pilgrims came to an Euro per kilometer walked.... presupposing that pilgrims would stay in the albergues. Today, an additional 3 Euros per day would have to be added to the estimate, since that has become the cost of the albergues. Everything else (food, supplies, etc., ) has, remarkably, remained the same.
Those of us from the USA would need to translate the Euros estimate into U.S. dollars by a multiple of 1.70; this computation will be made easier in the summer?if, as expected, the Euro does rise?to $2.

I searched my emails, and found a thread from a year ago about Camino 
costs.  There seemed to be some consensus that one could get by, 
without scrimping too much, on 25 euros a day in Spain.  Does this 
still sound like an OK planning number?  I assume that would go up if 
you sometimes stayed in hotels.

I have not heard a lot of cost data for France, I think that I have 
heard that it costs double what Spain costs.   Others have just said 
that it costs a lot more.
