Thanks for this tip! Starting from SJPP on 5/26 and just downloaded this app!There are lots of apps that can help. I used the TrekRight app last year. You can download maps on the app to use offline.
Has anyone got a map of the Camino route out of Logrono ?We are leaving Calle Portalles at 05.30 in morning. It would be great if someone could mark the routes through cities on the Camino.
A fellow pilgrim left one Albergue in the dark as we were still having breakfast. Some hours later she walked into Viana arriving after us. She had missed the arrows in the dark, walked for two hours and then found herself back in the same village she'd left .I left Casa ibarrola in Pamplona at 5 in morning in 2013 without waking anyone ( I think).
It's a very enclosed alburgue, prepared night before slipped out of my coffin bunk hovered across floor , fluttered out door. Fellow caminoites shocked that I was gone they told me they heard nothing, then I promptly got lost leaving Pamplona, walked into industrial estate took an hour to get out, ( thanks to security van) hence my concern about walking through city in dark I could not see arrows.
Before someone says stay in bed I wake at 5 every morning cannot lye on, and must get up and get dressed. c'est la vie.
Why are you leaving so early? That's almost 90 mins before sunrise. My suggestion wait until 7 am, the trail out out here is a bit involved but can do if you can see the yellow arrows.Has anyone got a map of the Camino route out of Logrono ?We are leaving Calle Portalles at 05.30 in morning.

It may sound weird - and too hi tech and digital and modern - but for me it means some kind of freedom, a more natural way of doing things, where I'm not tied to a fixed pre-defined path ....
Hi MichaelIf you have to leave in the dark - for whatever reason - how about checking out the way out of the town/village the evening before?
If you're fortunate enough to have the Cellular Data on your plan to spare, that works out really well, especially since the map feature will give you the option of pinning the Cathedral in the drop-down list. Maps.me also has maps of the departements in Spain that are downloadable for the initial app fee.I must be one of these weird people who are not fixated on yellow arrows. When I feel the need, and certainly in towns, I use the inbuilt map features of iPhone/iPad. Drop a pin on a destination - in this case the lake Embalse de la Granjera - and another one on c/Portales where the albergue is located and it shows you how to walk there. Or, when you are already walking, it will show you the way from your current location. In desperate situations, I allow myself a click on the satellite visualisation (aerial images of surroundings).
I think this is actually how we walked out of Logrono. I don't think we walked through the San Miguel park.
Not trying to be ignorant, but wife and I only had a watch and a headlamp, a GoPro .. no maps, no books, no electronics and we made it. You will be ok, sometimes as others have said the marking are a bit obscure and take some looking around to find them.Has anyone got a map of the Camino route out of Logrono ?We are leaving Calle Portalles at 05.30 in morning.

I guess you'e right. I downloaded it and didn't check - it comes right out of my iTunes gift card. Even better!Actually, I am fairly certain Maps.me is free (just checked the Android Play Store, it says "All maps inside and all features are free. Always were and always will be.".
You can find free KML / KMZ files for most of the Caminos, and use Maps.me offline without using data. I did this on the VDLP, some of the routes were not perfect because of recent reroutings, but it was extremely useful. I can't remember how much space my offline maps (and routes) took, but I am guessing it was about 4 GB.
If you plan to do something like this (install offline maps), it is important to install them and become familiar with the functionality before you leave home, because you may benefit from a guaranteed fast connection and possibly access to a computer.
Buen Camino!
Especially for the ladies - ample restroom facilities found here...... the Parque de la Grajera, is la Cabana del Tio Juarvi, a simple cafe/resto open everyday from 08:00.
Its very well marked out of logrono. Impossible to get list and street light for a periodHas anyone got a map of the Camino route out of Logrono ?We are leaving Calle Portalles at 05.30 in morning. It would be great if someone could mark the routes through cities on the Camino.
Not to worry, just follow the crowd you will never be alone.Thanks for this tip! Starting from SJPP on 5/26 and just downloaded this app!
I almost always leave in the dark. The key for me is reconnaissance of the route out of the city during daylight the day before leaving and also having a bright headlamp. The entire route is marked with arrows. I've never had a problem.
OP was dated May 2017, love to hear how MickMac did getting out of town. As Renshaw said it is just a matter of heading west and walking through the park.Has anyone got a map of the Camino route out of Logrono ?We are leaving Calle Portalles at 05.30 in morning.

There is much worse wicked stuff to drink once you reach Galicia, so beware.Thanks Biarritzdon as hotelmedicis said reconnaissance of the route night before did the job no problem.
We met a Spanish friend from Logrono the night before and did the Tapas crawl and got sozzled, not good preparation, it was a hard job to get up at 05,00 but we did it. can,t keep an Irishman (Or woman} down, no stereotyping here .
My avatar pic is from Logrono start. We walked as far as Burgos it was the worst weather I have encountered on the Camino in August, lightning storm outside Ages with massive winds nearly finished us we were on top of Sierra de Atapuerca, never stopped raining, my credentials were soaked.
We made it. Meseta Burgos to Leon target for July this year.
Buen Camino
By the way what does your avatar mean ?

It's at the end of a popular keep fit run from Logrono (walkers/cyclists/runners) and there's a decent bar/toilet halfway along the lake.
