Time of past OR future Camino
I have walked half the French in 2014 and would like to walk the whole this year, 2020.
Hi Everyone
Happy New Year.
I am wanting to walk from Porto to Santiago and I wondered hoe much the basic albergue charges per night?

Nope.
Was never turned away.
On one occasion I was sleeping on matress instead of a bed, but it was ok (Vila do Conde)
 
When are you going on Camino? Makes a difference how many albergues are open....

This is off topic, but Roland did you get any really neat stamps along the way? Also about how many miles did you walk a day, and what was your first stop?

Oh, some very nice ones. Albergue Sao Bento in Seixas and the wax stamp of the Albergue in Miladoiro are the two that stands out.

In total I walked 300km (186mi) in 11 days, so it's 27km (16,8mi) in average. First stop was Vila do Conde after 31km (19,3mi), the Albergue Santa Clara, that was the occasion I slept on a matress in a storage room, because the Albergue was overcrowded and turned many pilgrims away after 4pm. Most did stop in Labruge, a few miles before.

Best experience was "Sleep and go" in Esposende (book ahead, very nice), the Albergue Santo Joao in Viana do Castelo (very impressive Convent), the Albergue in Portela (a real pilgrimwise experience) and the Albergue in Miladoiro, where you find mostly Youth in charge of the Albergue.

If you have further questions, just ask!
 
Happy New Year Roland! Thank you so much for the information! We will be walking the first of September. I will turn 77 in July, but I’m in very good shape and should be able to do 15 miles a day baring any unforeseen issues. Thanks for the kind offer to answer further questions!
 
Casa do Sardão in Carreço is really nice if you want to have a day with less walking and more chill-in-the-albergue time, with several cozy common areas. The dorms are also quite nice there.
 
Let us pick up your suitcase once you arrive in Europe....
...and ship it to Santiago for storage. You pick it up once in Santiago. Service offered by Casa Ivar (we use DHL for transportation).
