Description

This App provides you with useful guides to the Way of St James by Carlos Mencos, a journalist and a well-known pilgrim himself! His guides have helped tens of thousands of pilgrims on their Way to St James. The guides have now been adapted to the App layout – and are even more comprehensive than the hardcopy of the printed guide! What will I find here that no other Apps provide? - Actual layout of the route and all possible variations, on foot and by bike, based on Google maps or on ready-to-download maps for you to use when going offline. - Detailed profile of the route, which you can navigate through. - Your position in the map and in the profile, so you do not lose your way. - Stage planner for you to organise the route your way. - Real-time alerts and situations in the Way, updated on a daily basis by the journalists of Editorial Buen Camino Publishing House. - Thousands of geo-tagged points of all types of accommodation (hotels, B&Bs, hostels, etc.), points of interest and important notices. All this information is comprehensively extended and constantly updated using pictures from our own picture database. - This App is add-free! No accommodation business, bar or restaurant pays any fee whatsoever to be featured in it. Our guides are professional top-quality and updated guides. - Detailed information on every locality, available services and real-time weather information. - Mode-specific information for pilgrims on foot and by bike. - Available in Spanish and English, French, Italian and German. - Made for you by journalist Carlos Mencos, a pilgrim himself, distinguished with the 2015 Aymeric Picaud Award for popularising the Way of St James. Which guides are available? And what is their price? Right now you can download the Camino de Baztán - Baztán Route Guide – in full and at no cost!

    I used this app on Camino Portuguese from Lisbon and Camino Finisterre. The map is more accurate in comparison to when I used AllTrails for Camino Frances (fairly sure that was created by someone biking instead of hiking). The app provides a list of municipalities and the services available. The maps have points of interest (albergue, churches, monuments etc), notes on alternative routes, warnings about dangerous crossing and long stretches without food/water. The stage planning tool is paid for those who can afford it. Those who cannot can activate the tool for free and recite a prayer at the destination. You can change the start/end for a stage and add or remove stages. It has distance on paved and unpaved surface, ascent and descent. The only recommendation I have is to make the map accessable on Apple Watch. I still use AllTrails in the background for off route alerts.

    Tested on four Caminos, the Buen Camino App is my proven guide. Especially on the Caminos Primitivo and del Norte, it helped me to find all the treasures and I never lost the way.

    This app provides an outstanding level of detail about the Camino! So thankful that this exists. The app gives great descriptions on reasonably distanced segments, which allow for adjustments to each day and each day’s destination. Wonderful resource!

    I’ve used Buen Camino on two Caminos so far; the Camino Frances from St Jean-Pied-De-Port and the Camino Portuguese (Littoral/Coastal/Central Hybrid) from Porto. I’ve found it a fantastic aid in customizing my stages. The profile view was handy for planning the start of my day on an uphill climb (a great calf stretch) and ending my day on a flat or downhill stretch (so much easier that ending on a long uphill). It’s very intuitive once you get the hang of it. There are excellent tips about alternative paths into and out of cities (always walk in or out along a river if available-especially into Burgos). Also, it has great insights into points of interest along the way.
