No Signup. No Login. Celebrating its 12th year as a mobile app, and their 14th 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!

Useful, though buggy and incomplete
Has been handy for maps, info and accommodation, though lacks completeness of places to stay and Camino Complimentario sections, map is occasionally inaccurate, user comments are often in the wrong section (town rather than Albergue etc).
Most frustratingly when trying to use the ‘locate me’ feature in the places list the app simply crashes and closes.
Really useful
Used daily on my Camino from SJPP. Invaluable.
Outstanding
Amazing app constantly updated
Camino Francés
I’ve used this app while doing the Camino Francés. Although it’s generally good, and relatively easy to navigate, it desperately needs to be updated. The presentation, content and the homepage of the app need a fresh look to make it more appealing. It looks tired and dated.
Wouldn’t leave home without it.
Great tool. Will be my main guide on my 5th camino this year.
Don’t buy!
Just bought this and it crashes every time I try to open it.

An indispensable app for the seasoned or novice traveller
Can't recommend enough
Great for planning our day - shows all the amenities in every village at a glance and the distance between each village. Detailed info on the albergues - location, beds, prices, wifi, washing, outside area etc. The app really came into its own in Santiago where the gps map lead us straight to the albergue we had chosen - no walking around with 10kgs looking out for places!
