Yes. On the map it shows your position on the Camino. However, I think that the feature that shows you how far it is to the next town may only work in one direction.@trecile, does the Buen Camino app allow you to follow the track in reverse? If so, that would be very handy!
Thanks so much. I will give it a try.Eileen, could you download a Wikiloc track like this one to your phone and follow it in reverse?
Wikiloc gives you the choice when you start following a route of which direction you want to follow it in. If you start walking from Muxía and click “Follow trail” in the Wikiloc app, it will sense that you are at the end of the downloaded route and will ask you if you would like to follow the route in reverse. If you agree, then it will track you in the reverse direction and will alert you when you veer off the track.Epílogo : Finisterre y Muxía

Thank you. I have looked at Buen Camino before and had forgotten about it. I will take another look. Many thanks. EileenI used the Buen Camino app. Easy to use with tons of features.

I will try this too! Many thanks to you and everyone with the suggestions. I will be busy in the next couple of days working out what works best. Heading out to Santiago on Thursday and then bus to Muxia. Starting the walk back to Santiago on Saturday. Buen Camino everyone. EileenThe route is well marked in both directions and you may not need directions at all if you keep your eyes open for markers.
I had maps.me with Galicia downloaded (works offline) and if ever curious where I was, it would tell me.
That's when I like having a GPS app with the Camino on it for reassurance.There was a long straight stretch in the southern half with few arrows. Not really needed except for reassurance since the camino didn't leave the road until definitely marked.
Next month I'll be trying out two camino apps, three primary navigation apps and two backups. I'm going to have plenty of reassurance (as long as they all agree).That's when I like having a GPS app with the Camino on it for reassurance.
There is one of those great urban myths - "in any city you are never more than 6 metres from a rat". Thanks to GPS we can add 'with GPS you are never more than 6 metres from where you think you are"Next month I'll be trying out two camino apps, three primary navigation apps and two backups.

I walked from Muxia to Fisterra in July this year in one day. I do not have one of those magic phone things that seem to have the answers to everything. I just headed off out of town and followed the markers. There are plenty of them and you won't get lost. Just as you go down into some small place (I am old and can't remember the name) at about halfway, on the right there is a place which is just a room with a toilet and a coke machine. It is a private property but it is for pilgrims. There is a bowl there for donations. We were there for 30 minutes having lunch and during that time at least a dozen pilgrims used the toilet but there were no donations. You keep hearing from pilgrims about the lack of toilets on the Camino and what they would give to use one, especially a modern clean one as good as this, but when they have a choice as to whether to pay a very small sum for the privilege or not, it is nearly always not.
Sam. I am planning to walk Hospital-Finisterre-Muxia-Santiago. Do you know if that is practical and if that route will be well marked?I walked Santiago-Muxia-Finisterre in March this year, I can second that this loop is VERY well marked and in both directions and often has the end destination ‘Finisterre/Muxia/Santiago’ also marked. It’s a loop route that you can follow clockwise or anticlockwise basically. In regards to knowing how far the next town/Albergue is I used the Wisely+Camino Finisterre app, it allows you to download the maps to use offline and was very easy to use regarding the reverse route.
To simplify it even further the Finisterre to Muxia or Muxia to Finisterre section is only 28.2km which is either going to be one big day or 2 days. I did it in 2 days as I had plenty of time to kill, in that case you will need to stop in Lires which is roughly halfway and has a number of albergues (including one open all year incase you are planning a winter camino), and from memory is your only option between Finisterre and Muxia with albergues.
Either way don’t stress about a guide for this opposite way section, if you have 1 day just follow the trail markers, if you have 2 days follow the markers and make sure to stop in Lires.
