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.
Share & import — swap itineraries and notes with fellow pilgrims by QR code or file.
Back up your plan and notes to a file, so nothing's lost when you change phones.
¡Buen Camino and thank you for your support!
I have just completed the VdlP and this app was invaluable. Excellent information - it wil never capture every albergue or bar! A couple of gripes - firstly the app kept crashing and then restarting most times I went back to it from another screen. Secondly, the ability to comment on albergues is excellent but I think many users dont do this as they never scroll down the page to see that it is possible. Please make this more prominent and also enable the abilty to commetn on other things such as places and that way we could add info about bars and new albergues.
Perfect Camino companion

Have just walked from Seville to Salamanca. The app was great for planning upcoming stages and the map was invaluable in making informed choices when way markers were scarce or confusing. Well worth the money. Minor bug: the app tends to crash if you select an off route place as your starting point. Not a big problem as my starting points were generally on route but it would be nice to have the issue fixed.
Great App for all Pilgrims

Really have enjoyed these apps for my Camino’s but I’m doing the VDLP and the elevation map stops at Salamanca and I can’t get it to go further up the route. How can I address this issue please?
Great
hang your heads in shame
I used the Camino Frances version of this app when I walked from Pamplona to Santiago last year and found it really useful. I'll be walking the Via sometime soon and will be taking this app with me for sure. I will be starting in Cadiz and would love to see this stretch of the route (Cadiz - Seville) added in; I'm sure there are plenty of people setting out from the coast.
Bringing a plan over from wisepilgrim.com now lands exactly the way you drew it — forks and all. If you chose the path less taken, the app keeps it that way.
Travelling on by train or bus? You can now sleep first and catch the morning one, instead of leaving the same day.
Not sure where to begin? Every route now comes with sample itineraries — gentle, standard, strong — worked examples to start from and drag about until they're yours.
Plus a little housekeeping in the accommodation directory, with a few new beds.
Buen Camino!
