Camino Aragonés
The Camino Aragonés runs from Somport to Puenta la Reina
(where the route joins the Camino Francés).
Some pilgrims use this route as an alternative starting point for the Camino Francés,
instead of the often-crowded St. Jean Pied-de-Port, France or Roncesvalles, Spain.
Way of St James (Buen Camino)
Google Play Store
Note: reviews are based on the iPhone app…
in an iPhone, the app has “BuenCamino” under the app image—not "Way of St James.”
Clean app design, with easy to understand graphics.
Includes a feature to plan your daily stages.
Made for you by journalist Carlos Mencos, a pilgrim himself, distinguished with the 2015 Aymeric Picaud Award for popularizing the Way of St James.

TIP
When I first opened this app, I saw Spanish-language instructions.
But after clicking Start, the app became an English-language guide.
I mention this so you don't give up on the app just after opening it—
if you're not fluent in Spanish.

Camino Baztanés
The Camino Baztanés starts in Bayonne, France and runs nearly straight south,
crossing the Pyrenees at Dancharia/Dantxarinea (Spanish language/Basque language),
and ending in Pamplona, Spain (on the Camino Francés).

Camino Inglés (English Way)
An alternative to the more crowded Sarria to Santiago de Compostela journey to qualify for the Compostela
(minimum of 100 kms required).
Typically from Ferrol, Spain to Santiago de Compostela.
The Camino Inglés, or the English way, historically drew pilgrims coming from the north
(currently the UK, Scandinavia, Ireland).

Made by a Camino pilgrim.
English Way PREMIUM
From Ferrol to Santiago de Compostela.
The app developer has made other Camino apps:
Camino Invierno
A recently developed route, the Camino Invierno leaves the Camino Francés at Ponferrada,
then heads south to avoid the higher elevations found in later stages of the Camino Francés route.
