About this app

No Signup. No Login.

Now 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 Francés, the most popular route across 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 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!

It Has *Everything*! Elevation map, relative locations/distances, all lodging amenities/costs/contact information, it allows individuals to leave reviews, lists unique sights to see, has detailed written walking instructions too - wow!! Why did I never have this app before?! I'm so glad it was recommended to me! Also, the creator of the app responded immediately (within minutes) to a question I emailed, very cool!

Very handy. Best source of information in an app that I have found, and more current than any book. Have used since first released. Maps are much improved. Text size is fine, although ability to adjust for small, medium, and large would be improvement.

On Samsung S7 map is so slow it barely works (but Google Maps works fine). Content is very limited, the best bit is telling you the distance between places, but content on the places you are at is limited. Occasional review of albergues but again this part very slow on my phone. Try something else.

What's new

Fixed an issue where some albergues were appearing as exclusive to pilgrims when they are not. Fixed an issue where some albergues did not show a washing machine as available when it was.
Large update to prices and several albergue closures.
A better, more informative README section.
