Camino del Salvador

The Camino del Salvador has received the Wise Pilgrim treatment.

Designed, written, and developed with pilgrims in mind (and by a pilgrim himself), the smart guides published by Wise Pilgrim are the most up to date guide you can buy.  It receives updates regularly (from within the app) and pilgrims can contribute their own observations of unexpected changes along the way.

There are 6 guides in the series, and this one covers the Camino del Salvador, or San Salvador as it is sometimes called.  The route runs North from León to the capital of Asturias, Oviedo.  If you are looking for something different this is an excellent option.  If you are looking to extend your camino experience from the Camino Francés this is also an option.  From Oviedo you can return towards Santiago along the Camino Primitivo (smart guide also available).

Note:  The data in the guide works offline, but things like mapping and comments (and for the moment photos), only work with a data connection.  Photo bundles are coming soon so that you can get all of the data in one download and save the roaming charges.

Camino Aragonés

This guide is meant to supplement the Camino Francés guide. Beginning in the Somport mountain pass, the Camino Aragonés has survived as a popular alternative to the first several stages of the French route to the North West.

FEATURES:

Albergue Directory. A full directory of Albergues, and notes on which towns have alternative accommodation like camping, hotels, pensions, and casas rurales.


Stage Guide. Full directory of Cities along the way, in the order in which you pass them, with accurate listings of what services are available.


Location Aware. Every location is geo-located. Devices with GPS enabled will display actual distance from every point (albergue, church, city, etc.) within the app. Devices without GPS will instead show measured distances between points.


Photos. Photos of albergues, monuments and other points of interest along the way are currently viewable while online from within the app.


Maps. If you have a data connection, or are connected to wifi, you can view the locations of every point on a map. Unfortunately, this feature is unavailable without a connection.


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 - West. One complete elevation, from Somport to Puente la Reina, 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. These comments are also used to keep the app up to date. No registration necessary.
 

INSTANT UPDATES: This is the only guide that is always up to date. Whether you plan to walk next week, or next year, up to date information can be re-downloaded and stored from within the app.

Camino de Invierno

Designed, written, and developed with pilgrims in mind (and by a pilgrim himself), the smart guides published by Wise Pilgrim are the most up to date guide available. It receives updates regularly (from within the app) and pilgrims can contribute their own observations of unexpected changes along the way.

The Camino de Invierno, or Winter Route, is steadily becoming a viable alternative to pilgrims wishing for something just a little bit different. It begins in Ponferrada on the Camino Francés but follows a more Southern approach to Santiago. In so doing the Camino de Invierno bypasses the snowier mountain passes in favor of a warmer climate. These days it is actually more popular during the summer, as accommodation along the way has yet to fully mature.

As a way to Santiago it is an excellent option for pilgrims looking to escape from the camino itself. The stages are long, accommodation is more frequently in hostals, pensions, or polideportivos, and the number of pilgrims are dramatically fewer. Before arriving in Santiago it merges with the Camino Sanabrés for the last 2 days of walking. This guide includes the camino all the way to Santiago.

Following the success of the original Wise Pilgrim guide, we decided to keep on walking once we got to Santiago (from Oviedo). The camino to Finisterre is as enjoyable as it ever was, and so too is Muxía.
