    Wikiloc or alternative for planning

    I agree with everything you say, with the one caveat that if @Peterexpatkiwi is hoping to use the app for caminos in Spain, Komoot might not be helpful. It may well be, I just don’t know. But something to find out before investing a lot of time in any app.

    Wikiloc or alternative for planning

    Once you decide which app you want to use, I would forget about all the others and concentrate on it. I know there are many options, but I long ago settled on wikiloc and have gotten pretty proficient. But there is a learning curve. I found this one using the map, is it not going to the...

    Wikiloc or alternative for planning

    Maybe I haven’t explained myself clearly. When you use wikiloc, you have to search for and choose a track to follow. You can see where the track goes when you bring it up on your phone or computer. You must have chosen a track that walked a circle around Hof and not a Jakobsweg track. What...

    Wikiloc or alternative for planning

    These tracks look like “real” jakobsweg tracks. I just don’t know anything about the stages and can’t fiddle with the map to see what else is there. https://www.wikiloc.com/hiking-trails/95-by-mittelfrankischer-jakobsweg-von-nurnberg-nach-rothenburg-o-d-t-50028541...

    Updated list of services, Camino Catalán, May 31, 2024

    I would still make sure to consult other sources. Both gronze and @Elena peregrina note that there is a CR not too far from Ena, but I don’t see it in this document. But I do think it’s a great resource.

    LIVE from the Camino Caminho Nascente from Tavira - Spring 2021

    His stages were Cuba to Viana and Viana to Évora.

    Wikiloc or alternative for planning

    Hi, @Peterexpatkiwi, I think you should give wikiloc another try. Wikiloc is a “crowd-sourced” treasure trove of trails that have been recorded by users. There is no “it.” There are multiple tracks for any section of any camino I have ever walked. You must have followed the track of someone...

    LIVE from the Camino Caminho Nascente from Tavira - Spring 2021

    The route to Évora has been taken off the highway. Looks like the permission has been granted, but it also looks like the off-road camino goes through a lot of very soggy marshy areas and has a lot of river crossings. An improvement, no doubt, but maybe pretty challenging at certain times of...

    LIVE from the Camino Caminho Nascente from Tavira - Spring 2021

    I’m watching Álvaro Lazaga’s most recent camino videos on the Nascente, which is one of my 2025 options (never too early to start thinking!). The stage I just looked at was from Alcoutim to Mesquita and he says repeatedly that there is no restaurant in the village. What do you make of that? He...

    A new 3000km circular walking route in Portugal?

    Official website still under construction. What a great idea, to have a continuous route that can be picked up at any convenient point. I agree that not many people are likely to walk the full circle, though. I know that the Portuguese government tourism agencies (at both national and...

    LIVE from the Camino Sarria to Santiago winter Camino

    Easy to find with the search function. See this comment. https://www.caminodesantiago.me/community/threads/a-call-for-regulation-or-permit-on-the-frances.87174/#post-1261519

    October Camino - shorts?

    For proof of that statement, just look at some of Álvaro Lazaga’s youtube videos. More than 50 caminos, walked during every month of the year, always in shorts. Like @C clearly, I am firmly in the “no shorts” group, because of my dermatologist. She has also put me in the “no short sleeves”...

    Via Augusta - Apr 2023

    You should check out the Via Serrana subforum, which is here. Only 26 threads, but lot of good and recent information. Several forum members, including me and @C clearly, have walked this route within the last six months or so, and we didn’t have trouble getting the information we needed. So I’m...

    Casa Beatnik

    Wow! Just curious if you heard anything about the owners being from Chicago. We’re pretty staid here in the midwest, and this place seems quite extravagant.

    Updated list of services, Camino Catalán, May 31, 2024

    Many thanks to the Amics of Barcelona for this updated list of accommodation and services on the Camino Catalán on the San Juan de la Peña variant.

    LIVE from the Camino On the Camino de Madrid!

    Yes, decisions, decisions. Like you, I have started to really pay attention to the many important places that the Camino takes us near, but not through or to. La Santa Espina is surely one of those places! If I understand Gronze right, taking the detour on the way to Medina de Rioseco, rather...

    Carrión de los Condes - floral carpet tomorrow

    What great pictures. Just to say that many towns and villages in Portugal follow the same tradition. I’ve come across several, and it is usually part of a bigger operation — a few people working on the flowers, others cooking food, transporting bags of petals, etc. In my experience, the local...

    Casa Beatnik

    I was just looking at some lodging options around Ponte Ulla, and saw that what used to be the Pazo dos Galegos has a new life as Casa Beatnik. In had a long multi-generational history as a family estate and winery. It got a Xunta grant to transform the home into a hotel. I had never stayed...

    Invierno Planning Questions 2024

    Thanks for the link to the blog. There’s a lot of practical info there as well as nice pictures. I have one question about your lodging. You stayed in Pensión Victoria on your last night before Santiago. I had never heard of anyone staying there (but it is on Gronze, so I just haven’t been...
