United StatesNow in their 10th year as a mobile app, and their 12th online, the Wise Pilgrim Guides are the go-to source of up-to-date information on the Camino de Santiago.
The app is updated regularly with new content and new features and offers you the ability to leave tips for pilgrims following behind you.
This guide covers the Camino Portugués along the Central, the Coastal, and the Variante Espiritual routes. It has been redesigned and now works almost exclusively offline (to share your comments with others will require a data connection). As more an more albergues share their WiFi this becomes less of an issue, and the guide will tell you which ones offer WiFi.
Accommodation Directory:
A full directory of Albergues, camping, hotels, pensions, paradors, and cases rurales. Over 900 in total, with special attention to those that can be booked online.
Stageless Guide:
No more "stage anxiety" or guide created bottlenecks.
Maps:
Offline and online versions of a beautiful topographical may will give you a good view of the terrain ahead.
Photos:
Photos of albergues, monuments and other points of interest along the way. Currently 900+ images and growing.
Scrollable Elevation Map:
This one is hard to show with just a screenshot, but the elevation that appears at the top of every city page scrolls East to West. One complete elevation, from St. Jean Pied de Port to Santiago, uninterrupted by page folds.
Comments:
Albergue closed early for the season? Have a restaurant that you want to share, or perhaps one to warn others about? Every location in the app gives you the opportunity to leave a comment and to read the comments left by others. No registration necessary.
¡Buen Camino and thank you for your support!
Perfect for checking your location in real time while on the Camino. You can never get off track. Also the elevation map is useful in keeping track of how much hill is left to walk.
Excellent information with clear maps.
App content is great! You pay the price of a guidebook and get an app guide. Especially the map and the acomodations section. However, the app keeps crashing every time you reopen it, what is a very consuming battery process (and battery is elixir for pilgrims rs). Hope you can fix it :)
A really useful app for staying on the way, re-finding the way, seeing cafés and bars ahead, finding accommodation etc. It is a little glitchy: it takes a long time to update the location on the map and sometimes crashes.
Essential part of our journey
Pretty useful and I like having the map but it does crash a LOT
Crashes constantly - when opening, navigating, zooming in and out, and randomly. Incredibly frustrating to use. I've persevered because I've wanted to leave comments for other peregrinos letting them know which albergues are open, but even the commenting function doesn't work most of the time. Also really confusing that the text description for each town actually describes leaving the town, rather than arriving in it.
Big update for the early Spring as pilgrims are already walking.
This update contains many small bug fixes (albergue closing times), better visibility of maps using dark mode, and a critical fix that caused the app to crash when you tried to auto-scroll to your closest location.
It also includes gps track updates.
