Wise Pilgrim Camino Francés

Post offices, with the hours that matter. Correos' full register is now in the app, so you can see when the counter in a small village is open (sometimes only twenty minutes a day). A fresh data pass across every route: places, beds and services brought up to date. And for those who plan ahead, a small new companion is tucked into the planner. Buen Camino!

Bringing a plan over from wisepilgrim.com now lands exactly the way you drew it — forks and all. If you chose the path less taken, the app keeps it that way. Travelling on by train or bus? You can now sleep first and catch the morning one, instead of leaving the same day. Not sure where to begin? Every route now comes with sample itineraries — gentle, standard, strong — worked examples to start from and drag about until they're yours. Plus a little housekeeping in the accommodation directory, with a few new beds. Buen Camino!

Thousands of new photographs of the places you will sleep, right across the routes. Buen Camino.

Share the day you walked. Pick a photo from today and the app makes a card out of it: the two towns, the distance, and the day's climb drawn underneath with a walker standing exactly where the photo was taken. Your photos remember where they were shot, so each one lands at its own point along the stage. Up to ten at a time, in story or square, for Instagram, TikTok, WhatsApp, or just your own camera roll. No plan, or a Camino you walked years ago? Choose the photos and we work the day out from them. Or share a single spot — a view, a bar, the fountain you sat at — and the card names the nearest town and the distance still ahead of you. Travelling on: walk into a town in the morning and leave the same afternoon by train or bus. Set it on that stop and the night stops counting, your dates stay right, and the day numbers keep counting only the days you actually walk. Also: import another pilgrim's plan from a screenshot of their QR code, not only by scanning it, and a tidier home screen. Buen Camino.

Print your Camino. Your itinerary now exports as a PDF — a page for each day, with the stage, its elevation profile, every town you walk through, and the bed you have booked with its status. Choose what comes with you: descriptions, notices, notes about the Camino itself, history. Leave them off and you get a clean sheet; turn them on and you carry the whole guide. The summary page holds a QR that loads your entire plan onto another pilgrim's phone, and every booked bed carries one that opens it in Maps — so a printed page can still find your albergue in the dark. Also: Settings now keeps the guide's accommodation data separate from the app itself. The data updates in the app; the app updates in the App Store. Pilgrims were confusing the two and missing real updates. Buen Camino.
