🐚 Camino de Santiago

Camino Baztanés: Green, misty, and almost no one around.

Starting in Bayona, France, this route crosses the lush Baztán valley in Navarra all the way to Pamplona. Green, damp, full of farmhouses and fog. It was once used by pilgrims who arrived by sea at Bayona. Today, hardly anyone walks it.

What does Mi Estela do for me on this Camino?

Your circle sees you advance stage by stage, you let them know you've arrived at the albergue with a single tap (even with no signal—it goes out when it comes back), you send a link to anyone who doesn't have the app, you check tomorrow's weather and your stage's elevation, and you have SOS and the emergency number right at hand. Free for the entire Camino.

Do I need cell service?

Not for the essentials: the Caminos and your stages are saved on your phone, and alerts to your people go out on their own as soon as the signal comes back.
