🐚 El Camino de Santiago
Walk your Camino. They walk with you.
Seventeen Caminos with their stages, difficulty, and best season. You start one, mark each stage, and your people see you move forward. "I've arrived at the hostel," one tap, without pulling out your phone all day. And anyone who doesn't have the app can follow along through a link.
Estela goes with you
What Mi Estela does on the Camino
Presence, not a guidebook: there's no restaurant directory or business listings. What really matters at kilometer twenty-five is that your people know you're okay, and that your Camino stays with you.
Your people see you moving forward
You start the Camino and your circle knows. Every stage you mark and every "I've arrived at the hostel" reaches the circle chat. Without pulling out your phone all day.
"I've arrived at the hostel," one tap
The button that puts your mom at ease. It works even if the hostel has no wifi: it saves on your phone and sends itself when you get signal again.
A link for anyone without the app
"I'm walking the Camino. You can see how I'm doing here, no install needed." Send it on WhatsApp and they see your progress, your last signal, and your stamps. No account, no sign-up.
No signal? Still works
Your last known position is saved. When you're back online, your people see it. And your Caminos stay saved on your phone so you can open them in the middle of nowhere.
What's ahead today
Tomorrow's weather and fire risk for your stage, the elevation, and an honest heads-up: "flat day," "there's a steep climb," or "watch the descent: it's your knees that pay."
SOS and the emergency number
An SOS to your people with your location (if their phone is on, they have signal, and notifications are active) plus the country's emergency number always at hand. It doesn't replace 112.
Search near you
Hostels, pharmacies, somewhere to eat. Plus the Camino associations: where to get your credential and who to call.
What happened here
When you reach each town, without tapping a thing, a little gem about the place: Gaudí's work in Astorga, the chickens of Santo Domingo, the wine fountain at Irache, the village that sank under the reservoir in Portomarín. A wink, not a guidebook.
Other pilgrims, only with permission
You can let other walkers on your same stage see you and talk to you, only while you want and only if you're both adults. Nobody knows where you are, just which stage you're on; to chat you both have to accept, and it turns off on its own after 45 days.
Your journal and your credential Premium
A photo, a line, or a voice note at each stage, and a credential with a stamp for every place you sleep. The Camino is free; what stays with you from the Camino (the journal with your photos and your voice, the saved credential, the history of all your Caminos) is Premium.
Meet halfway
If someone's coming to see you, the midpoint suggests where to meet between their car and your stage.
The scallop shell when you arrive
When you enter Santiago, the golden scallop shell opens with your stages and your kilometers. No rankings, no medals: disconnecting is part of the Camino.
Three questions and two answers
We'll help you choose your Camino
Nobody picks a Camino from a list of seventeen rows
Choosing a Camino can feel overwhelming. That's why the app asks you three questions and suggests two or three routes. The rest are still there, right below. And if you live far from every Camino, Estela figures out the nearest town and where to start so it fits the days you have: a pilgrim with nine days doesn't start in Roncesvalles—they start in Sarria.
The stages and kilometers are the ones shown in the app. Difficulty ratings are just a guide — your fitness level and the weather have the final say.

The Caminos link up
That's what real pilgrims have done for centuries: nobody just shows up and walks a 120 km Camino in one go. You link one stretch to the next.
El Salvador + el Primitivo
19 days · León → Oviedo → Santiago
The combo the veterans choose. "Whoever goes to Santiago and not to El Salvador visits the servant, not the Lord." Tough, mountainous, and barely anyone around.
El Aragonés + el Francés
35 days · Somport → Santiago
Enter through the Pyrenees from Aragón instead of Roncesvalles, and join the Francés at Puente la Reina. The same great journey, with a lonelier beginning.
La Plata + el Sanabrés
45 days · Sevilla → Santiago
The entire Roman road from Andalucía, turning off at Granja de Moreruela to enter Galicia through Ourense. The longest and most solitary Camino there is.
Your Camino + Fisterra
4 more days, at the end
You reach Santiago and you've still got steps left. Keep going to the end of the world, see the Atlantic, and then it's really over.
What your mom sees
A link—no install needed
They open the link you send via WhatsApp and see, right at the top in big letters, the only thing they really care about: "They're okay. Last signal: today." Below that, your Camino, the kilometers you've walked, the next stage, and your stamps. No account, no app, no sign-up. It's the gap no Camino app had solved.
We answer your questions
Frequently asked questions
How much does Mi Estela cost on the Camino?
Nothing during the Camino: letting your people see you move forward, "I've arrived at the hostel," the link for anyone without the app, the weather, SOS, and the pilgrim network are all free. Premium is what stays with you afterward: the journal with your photos and your voice, your saved credential, and the history of all your Caminos.
Does it work without cell service?
Yes, for the things that matter. Caminos are saved on your phone, your "I've arrived" is stored and sent automatically when signal comes back, and your last known position is kept so your people can see it once the network returns.
Does my family need to install the app?
No. You send them a link and they can see how you're doing from their browser. If they install the app, they also get the circle chat, calls, and the map.
Can I walk the Camino from my home, even if it's not on any route?
Estela doesn't make up a trail from your front door across open fields—that would be dangerous. What she does is what real pilgrims do: figure out the nearest Camino town and where to start so it fits your available days.
Are there rankings, badges, or points?
No. No points, no rankings, no "you beat so-and-so." When you reach Santiago, the scallop shell opens with your stages and your kilometers, and your credential has a stamp for every place you slept. Just like the paper one.
Can I meet other pilgrims?
Yes, only with your permission and only if you're of legal age. Nobody knows where you are—just which stage you're on. To chat, you both have to accept each other, and it switches off on its own after 45 days.
