Looking forward to your reporting - here? I don't do instagram so maybe I will miss out!Doing my longest Camino todate. Mozarabe (to Leon) San Salvador to Oviedo then the Primitivo to Santiago ( god willing)
Updating everyday with costs, open Albergues and general info. I use Instagram if you want check things out it's Steve1963cole.
I know the route well as I walked each Camino separately so I thought join them up. I have decide in about to walk to Astorga and 2 days back to Leon or straight up from La Baneza.
I am Camino addict by the way, but also on a budget of about 20 euro a day.
I know the feeling and might be called a camino junkie as well. Unfortunately I have never had the opportunity to walk such a long camino in one go. I wish you well pilgrim, may every step be a joyful one!Doing my longest Camino todate. Mozarabe (to Leon) San Salvador to Oviedo then the Primitivo to Santiago ( god willing)

Buen camino
No problems with Albergues up to Granada, doing research about after GranadaHi there. Looking to do the Mozarabe from Cordoba to Merida at the end of April so looking forward to hearing what happens with you regarding accommodation on this section. Buen Camino.
Between Almeria and Granada it's perfect almost all donation albergues all are open. It will be more difficult after. Also on budget might need a plan B. Just need to be in Leon end of March for San Salvador and PrimitivoI just finished the VDLP from Sevilla in December. My original plan was to walk the Sanabria also to arrive in Santiago. I too am a budget pilgrim and really like to keep my expenses down. Unfortunately because of Covid I ended up spending the most money I have ever spent on any camino. I do not know what the albergue situation is now but there were many albergues closed and I was forced to sleep in hostels and pensions on many days. Even when albergues were open almost all of the kitchens were closed and I was forced to eat in more restaurants than I had planned even for lunch. I ended up going up to Astorga and joining the CF because I was told a few times by albergue owners the situation on the Sanabria was similar to the VDLP. I tend to doubt the albergue situation will be any different in February but who knows and I hope I am wrong. Gronze.com does the best job of keeping up to date on open/closed albergues. I also relied on the Buen Camino and Wise Pilgrim as well as a few other sources to find alternative places to sleep. I always called ahead to make sure the desired albergue would be open as no source is 100% accurate. Buen Camino it sounds like a great experience!

Almeria,What a wonderful Camino you have ahead of you. Where do you start - Malaga, Almeria? I have to admit that I am slightly envious!

With Covid and all the changes what happened when I walked may be very different than when you will be walking.Between Almeria and Granada it's perfect almost all donation albergues all are open.

I still have doubts between Cordoba and Merida, I can always bus to Seville and do the VDLP again. I have walked the Mozarabe before also. Good to have a plan BWith Covid and all the changes what happened when I walked may be very different than when you will be walking.
I Primitivo in September last in Asturias municipal Albergues 5 euro. Galicia 8 euro. Here now between Almeria and Granada 7 of the 9 albergues along the Camino are donation albergues the other 2 cost 13 euro. Normally I budget 10 euro Albergue 10 euro food/drink a day on average. But if municipals are closed I will get bus from Granada to Seville and do VDLP again. Good to have plan BI know the feeling and might be called a camino junkie as well. Unfortunately I have never had the opportunity to walk such a long camino in one go. I wish you well pilgrim, may every step be a joyful one!
€20 per day maybe a bit low though - cost of accommodations alone will be higher now since with all covid restrictions and regulations more work has to be done in them and less people can be accommodated.
Buen camino!
