If you go for private accomodation I would not budget below 50€/day. Despite cooking/preparing drinks by yourself. Cooking will also be limited in many of those places.
If you go with albergues, I would say 30€/day. I have often enjoyed making...
If you start walking in Ponferrada, you'll hit all these. Molinaseca is only special if you have walked down the long hill from Cruz de fiero and cant make it the next 9 km to Ponferrada.
Buen camino on the Invierno, BP. I totally get it that you just want to walk. (No matter what we might think of that.... 😪)

do not drink that water! Sometimes it’s been there for days, and might even not be tap water.. we use it to clean in front of our doors, water the plants, and for dog users to clean where their dog peed. With the heat, if not rinsed, the smell...
