v1.0-beta7 - The BookAlbergue Version
- Ultreia is now partnering with BookAlbergue, a local Galician alternative to big-name booking platforms
- Albergue pages now link to BookAlbergue for reservations where available
- Version history tracking for all data changes, so edits are transparent and reversible

v1.0-beta6.6 - Admin & Data Improvements

v1.0-beta6 - Town Search
- Search for any town, village, or city along all 7 Camino routes
- 1200+ places now in the database across Francés, Norte, Primitivo, Portugués, Inglés, Invierno, and Fisterra
- Search results show which routes each town is on (e.g. "Melide" shows "Camino Francés, Camino Primitivo")
- Tap a result to fly to that location on the map
- Falls back to general map search when no Camino towns match

Much has happened with #ultreia in the past weeks.

• Based on user feedback, we backfilled all seven routes with town data, so now you can "fly" to any town on any of the routes from a search box.
• We also added a "?" button that explains what is what.
• We added an "elevator pitch" (below) to better explain what Ultreia.me is.
• We added https://ultreia.me/survey/ for users to quickly find data that is incomplete
• We added a 🏳️‍🌈 and 🏳️‍⚧️ survey to mark albergues and bars/cafés that are LGBTQIA+ friendly.
• We added a new API for drinking water quality exchange with some towns and province public works administrations. Now (León, for example), the council gets a WhatsApp message if fountain "do not drink" plaques have been vandalized or removed.
• Added an "antihate" reporting function for (currently) select users to report hateful graffiti on the Caminos. Local helping hands will be alerted to help remove the hateful stuff.

Ultreia.me is a project to search and map the Caminos de Santiago. You can use it to find albergues, fountains, points of interest, vegan and vegetarian albergues and restaurants, food carts, camping-friendly places, and more. It is decidedly not a Planner, use Godesalco for that, it’s excellent.

It is also a project to share this information with the commons, interacting with OpenStreetMap to contribute back what our users discover, making it available to anyone, here and on any other Camino route planner or mapper.

ulreia.me (@[email protected]) just leveled up. We've been syncing fountain potability updates to @[email protected] for a few months, now, so that pilgrims can find potable water faster (not all fountains are potable all year round).

We do this by crowd sourcing survey with the app, and then do a curated push to OSM, to avoid vandalism, spam, and false changes.

Now we've added albergues (hostels on the Caminos) and, very importantly, the diet: field, which outlines vegan and vegetarian albergues.

Our "competitors" are already dancing in joy, free data and all, but thing is: if we catch them, they have to contribute all their stuff back as well. And no court is harsher than the court of pilgrim opinion, we we can shame them into it.

Anywhoo: https://www.openstreetmap.org/user/BeardMD/diary/407740

Ultreia 3.0

After this year's #Camino walks, we finally get to go back to making deep changes to the app. #CaminoNow is now #Ultreia (insert long story about legal threats and how much of an insane asshole assembly the "Camino App" world is here). Ultreia should be available in very early 2026, with a few super cool additions:

- Leaf & Shell Vegan and Vegetarian Camino Planning
- 100% Community, 100% good Netizen
- Better a11y design, [more...]
