Wise Pilgrim - All Caminos (Free)
Planning your Camino and want everything in one place? Wise Pilgrim has been helping pilgrims find their way for over 20 years, and the free All Caminos app puts 26 routes at your fingertips - including both the Central and Coastal variants of the Camino Portugues. You get interactive maps that work offline, elevation profiles so you know what's ahead, and detailed listings of accommodation, services, and points of interest along the way. It's based on the Wise Pilgrim guidebooks that pilgrims have trusted for decades, and the app receives weekly updates automatically.
Wise Pilgrim Camino Portugues (Paid)
If you're walking the Portugues and want to go deeper, there's also a dedicated Camino Portugues app. It includes the full content from the Wise Pilgrim guidebooks, a built-in route planner (which syncs with wisepilgrim.com), a pronunciation guide for Portuguese and Spanish place names - genuinely useful when you're trying to ask for directions or book a bed - and a comprehensive directory of places to stay. It covers the Central, Coastal, and Variante Espiritual routes, and works almost entirely offline.
