Comments
Albergue closed early for the season? Have a restaurant to share, or one to warn others about? Every location gives you the opportunity to leave a comment and read comments left by others. No registration necessary.
Notes
Jot down a note on any town, albergue, or stop on the route, or drop a pin on the map for water, viewpoints, photo spots, or places to come back to. Everything gathers on one page in order along the Camino, ready to search and export. Your notes stay private on your phone.
¡Buen Camino and thank you for your support!
I bought not only the app but also the guides and have had no problems with either. The app has never crashed. The extensive and I do mean extensive information is a god send. I cannot judge if every single piece of information is accurate however I have made extensive use of the app and the books and not had any problems. For the very cheap price of the app I would highly recommend anyone wanting to do any of the Camino walks to buy the whole kit. I think it may be the best on the market today. Lots of Germans (lots doing the Camino it appears) seem to have there guide books and few this app, but I think it’s great. I rarely add reviews for anything but this is totally worth it.
Incredibly helpful

I am two days out of Santiago and this app has helped me every step of the way from Hendaye along the Camino del Norte. Cannot recommend it highly enough. The map feature is vital to stay En route, especially as the Norte route can be more remote than the Frances.Please do an app for the Levante route from Valencia 🙏🏼
Great app - offline map with route and albergues and guide

The only app I’m using for the Camino del Norte. Has an offline map with albergues, hostels and hotels pinned (that you can toggle on and off). There is also a guide write up on for several places per stage.
All you need

Good app - does everything you need
New — weather forecasts for every town and your itinerary stages.
A new Wildfire Map. Tap the Layers button and switch on Wildfires to see active fires across Spain and Portugal — updated daily from the EU's Copernicus fire service — plus this season's burnt areas along your route.
I've also refreshed the route tracks with cleaner elevation profiles and a few corrections, updated a number of albergues with the latest information I have, and fixed a few bugs along the way.
Buen Camino.
