Via de la Plata by Melanie McManus. It does not seem to be available in the Apple app store anymore. She has a website here:What is this app of melanie to which you refer?
Memorable construction on the VDLP/Sanabres:
The stretch between Casar de Caceres and the Embalse de Alcantar. They had a road crew person on the camino who was actually encouraging people to walk along the road (No thanks!) but it is a very nice hiking trail up there.
A Gudina to Laza - ignore the board and just do the north route. The south route is fine for about half of it but then the markings disappear at the worst moments.
There was another spot where there is a new highway that is not completed where the signs disappear (Melanie mentions it in her app). Just walk on the new highway. You can see the town you are trying to get to so you can't get lost per se.
Annie, I have used the Eroski guide three times now and have always found that they give up to date info on construction -- take a look here, for instance: http://caminodesantiago.consumer.es/etapa-de-puebla-de-sanabria-a-lubianDonna, is Melanie's app pretty much up to date? I'm thinking of walking the section from Caceres to either Salamanca or Zamora this year and was a little worried about the construction.

So, how many caminos are you going to walk this year, anyway?! Buen camino, Laurie

Also, I haven't seen anything on Eroski that gives a date as to when the information has been updated. Have you?
I don't know if the info about Ave is current or not, which is why I asked about Melanie's app.
It would be easier to use the app, if it's updated, than to carry pages of notes .
I'd love to have one of those GPS contraptions, but that's out of my budget.
And it's free!I didn't know Eroski had an app.
Thanks!
I would have gone insane without that app although Gerald Kelly's e-book is good. Melanie's app has just enough detail to let you know what to look out for but isn't so detailed that you no longer have an adventure.Melanie's app is currently (as of my conversation with her just last week) unavailable because the host has changed. She's as frustrated as pilgrims!
Hopefully the wise pilgrim app will be just as good!I would have gone insane without that app although Gerald Kelly's e-book is good. Melanie's app has just enough detail to let you know what to look out for but isn't so detailed that you no longer have an adventure.
