Camino 5.5.17

The Practical Guide of the Camino de Santiago by CONSUMER EROSKI, a global leader in information about the pilgrimage route, has launched its official application to share with all pilgrims during the Xacobeo year.

The focus of the application's design lies in providing support and utility for pilgrims, both in preparing for their journey and throughout its development—an app we encourage you to test out.

This application stands out as a reference for the pilgrimage route due to its continuous evolution and refusal to remain anchored in the past. Any new hostel openings or updates to existing information are promptly reflected within our application, ensuring you always have access to up-to-date information.

Another distinguishing feature is the inclusion of a specialist, Rubén, who personally traverses each Camino de Santiago route, staying in all the hostels that you will encounter along your path. He offers firsthand insights into the challenges you may face.

Building on our specialist's personal experiences, CONSUMER EROSKI finds it valuable and necessary to provide fellow walkers with essential information offered by this application: detailed distances, profiles, highlights, and points of interest along each path—French Way, Aragonese Way, Primitivo, Northern Way, Vía de la Plata, Basque Way, Sanabrés, and an epilogue to Fisterra (a new route every year!); as well as practical profiles showcasing hostel options along each route, complete with updated photographs; noteworthy landmarks awaiting your visit wherever you venture. This application is your ultimate tool for meticulous trip planning or spontaneous adjustments on the go.

However, CONSUMER EROSKI is not complacent and seeks your input to enhance its completeness and authenticity in capturing the Camino experience. Take a step further and become part of our Guide through various participation channels. In our 10 years as a leading online Guide, feedback has shown that you enjoy sharing your queries and experiences with us and other users. This feedback drives us to soon incorporate participation tools into our application. Moreover, thanks to a recent partnership with Google Maps, CONSUMER EROSKI now enables you to explore every corner of the French Way at street level.
