- Francés and routes in Andalucia
For anyone interested in learning a bit about the background of Wikiloc, here's an article that appeared in the Olive Press today. Although the headline writer gushed a bit with his use of 'revolutionized', it was interesting to read that Wikiloc is a Spanish app, started in Girona by Jordi Ramot and his friends in 2006. As of this evening, it has 15, 239, 281 tracks uploaded to it, and over 8 million of those are in Spain and Portugal.
The commentaries and photos that walkers and cyclists have posted with their tracks have added a lot of pleasure to our trips to Spain. While planning for the Camino Mozarabe this evening, for example, I was looking at a loop we could walk as we went through Alquife. The walker who uploaded it notes that it is a spectacular route passing ten abandoned flour mills and two castles, very little known and visited. He attached numerous photos that helped us decide that this little diversion would add a lot to our understanding of the history of the area - plus it looks like a gorgeous route. I would never have heard of it if he hadn't posted the track and thus am very grateful for the time and effort that has gone into this project (just as I am for this forum
