Camino de Santiago 360º, created by Iralta an audiovisual production company, is an entertaining free app that will allow you to virtually walk the Camino de Santiago, prepare your trip or reminisce about it whenever you like.

The trek, known as a haven for self reflection, is unquestionably an unparallel experience and this app, shot in spectacular environments, aims to immerse you in the culture, history and human richness of the Camino de Santiago.

What better way to enjoy the last few weeks of Spain’s lockdown by virtually exploring the country’s breathtaking landscapes.

This interactive guide format will walk you through ancient paths, magical woodlands and vineyards as well as ruins, cathedrals, museums and chapels.

COVID-19 has created an opportunity for virtual reality travel and for the latest technology to prove itself as an alternative to the authentic travel experience.

It may not be quite the full experience but you can put your feet up and discover the world’s most beautiful gardens from your sofa, including Spain’s Generalife or the Prado in your Pjs.
