Pilgrims with Android devices, time to update the Wise Pilgrim app on your phone. I published an update last week with lots of new goodness, and since then have been monitoring the crash logs to diagnose new bugs. Found a big one and squashed it, so the newest version is the stable one you want.

At long last the first of the 2025 guidebooks are arriving from the printer. The Portugués Guide has arrived and all pre-orders will ship on Monday morning.

The Norte and Francés guides are still a few days away (more delayed that we would all like) but will also ship as soon as they arrive!

Thank you all for your patience and support.

Announcing the Launch of the Camino de Santiago Planner

I’m excited to share that after two months of beta testing, and with all major bugs now addressed, the new Camino de Santiago planning website is officially live: https://www.caminodesantiago.me/camino-guides

This planner allows you to build a custom itinerary for any of the main Camino routes—or even mix and match multiple routes—so you can create the journey that’s right for you. You can save your plans, share them with other pilgrims, and even remix each other’s itineraries, helping new and experienced pilgrims alike plan their walk. You can also print off a personalized PDF guide based on content from Wise Pilgrim Guides, making it easy to carry detailed route info with you.

I want to thank the pilgrim community for your support, suggestions, and encouragement as I worked on this project. Your input has been invaluable, and I’m proud to finally share this tool with you.

Wishing all of you a joyful holiday season. May you embrace the warmth of the winter season, and may the road ahead be filled with adventure and fellowship.

Big hugs from Santiago,
Michael

Big things happening!

The biggest is the recent update to the website, which you'll remember from last February has been moved to the Camino Forum site.

The guides now include a built in route planner, to help you build an itinerary. At the end of it all you can save, reuse, and share your itinerary for others to re-mix. And you can print off a custom pdf of your plans.

Also in the works are the 2025 updates to the books, which this year have been pushed into January to allow for all of the properties to submit their prices changes.
