Red Twine is a Camino de Santiago app for pilgrims: a guide to plan your Camino and a companion to walk it. Seventeen routes on surveyed tracks, offline GPS maps, in six languages, on your phone and in your browser. No advertising, ever.
Your first Route Fit is free, and the routes and their stages stay free. The walk itself and the record of it are the Camino Pass.
FREE — SEVENTEEN CAMINO ROUTES, REAL TRACKS
Camino Francés, from Le Puy-en-Velay, Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port or Sarria; Portugués from Lisbon and Porto; Norte; Primitivo; Inglés; Vía de la Plata; Levante; Sanabrés; Invierno; Finisterre and Muxía; Aragonés; Salvador; Madrid; Mozárabe; Vasco del Interior; the Camino Maltés from Malta, by sea across Sicily and Sardinia to Barcelona; and the Monks' Way on Formentera. The Way of St James, surveyed and on the map.
FREE — YOUR FIRST ROUTE FIT
Ten questions — days, month, age, fitness, experience, knees, heat, budget, company — and Red Twine tells you which Camino de Santiago route fits, from where, and cuts the stages to your pace.
FREE — EVERY STAGE, ON THE MAP
Each stage with its distance and climb, and every kind of place along it under its own symbol: albergue, hotel, church, bridge, fountain, café.
CAMINO PASS — ON THE CAMINO
The GPS map with you on it and the way ahead, north-up or heading-up, and a steady compass with the bearing of the way. Stage maps downloaded for offline use, no signal needed. While you walk, the map fills the screen.
CAMINO PASS — ALBERGUES, HOSTELS AND HOTELS
Every bed beside the way: albergues, hostels and hotels near you, ahead of you, or in any town you choose, each with its distance off the route and its phone, email or WhatsApp. Contacts are checked against the place's own website where it has one, and each place says where and when; after 18 months it asks you to check again. No premium-rate numbers, and no prices are claimed — call and ask.
CAMINO PASS — CREDENCIAL AND COMPOSTELA
A pilgrim passport laid out like the paper credencial: stamp it by QR code, photograph or hand, see the Compostela rules applied to your stamps day by day in the last hundred kilometres to Santiago de Compostela, and print it as a PDF, marked as an unofficial copy.
CAMINO PASS — YOUR RECORD, AND SAFETY
Press Start and the phone measures what you actually walk, day by day: each day's kilometres, your total, how far is left to Santiago. SOS 112 behind a confirmation, the nearest hospital and pharmacy, and a share-my-position message home.
CAMINO PASS — WALK TOGETHER: SHARING, NOT TRACKING
Tracking is hidden, run by third parties, and kept. Walk Together is none of that: it is off until you turn it on (18+), and only pilgrims sharing on your route within 25 km see you — a name you choose and how far along the way you are, never a point on a map, and only the town when you are near where you sleep. Your phone sends it rounded; the server holds it in memory for 15 minutes, never on disk. One tap stops it. No ads, no analytics, no third-party trackers.
WHAT IT COSTS
The Camino Pass is monthly or yearly. Both renew until you cancel, any time in the store, and the Pass is the same on every route. Local pricing is shown before you buy. Walk Together's first 7 days are free. Location is used while the app is open, and in the background only between Start and Stop or while you share; it leaves your phone only in the message you choose to send home, in the route backup you turn on in Settings, or, while you share, as your distance along the way.
Buen Camino!
