Camino Pilgrim app

Today I found an app that will help me plan my route and I'm fascinated with it!

I'm a very technical person and this app just FEEDS my inner geek.

The app is great because it has preset hiking itineraries based on the number of days I want to complete the Camino.  It calculates the milage every day and shows a list of cities that I will encounter along the way, as well as a list of amenities available at each point. Definitely a real eye opener.

Up to this point I was thinking "400 miles, 10 miles a day = 40 days to complete"….

ummm….. no.

I was wrong about that.

Not every stop has pilgrim (hiker) accommodations.  That means that the milage for the day has to be shuffled around accordingly --some days will be longer and some days will be shorter.  Either way, the milage needs to be more than 10 miles a day…. And then there's the mountains.  Oh god.

Adjustments must be made. lol
