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 Primitivo, the original route across Asturias in Northern Spain. 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 400 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.
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 Oviedo 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!
Brilliant
Used it daily on the way. The ability to set the starting point and the kms are calculated from that point is very useful. Being able to like particular places is also very handy for planning your stops. The translation whatsapp integration is a game changer for booking ahead for those with local language issues.
Looks really well made with so much information packed in.
A great, all-in-one app. Basically everything I've needed to walk Primitivo in one place. Maps (including offline) are accurate, descriptions of segments help navigate tricky parts and provide useful insights. Database of albergues and hotels is up to date and greatly helped me to plan along the way. As a great addition, community's comments can help you pick best place and add interest points along the way. Highly recommend.
This is brilliant informative app. It has all the information you need.

Please take out that check if you're online or not before opening the maps. they are stored on the device anyway. After the app crashed today, i had no more connection and no more maps until I arrived in Poladura - which was more than unpleasant. Considering I'll be hiking towards Arbas tomorrow, I'd prefer getting the gpx track from the app (or as mentioned, to switch off that stupid online-check)
