Ultreïa — Always toward Santiago

Ultreïa keeps a single yellow arrow — the Camino's flecha — pointed toward Santiago de Compostela, wherever in the world you happen to be.

Ultreïa showing the yellow arrow and the distance to Santiago

Whether you're on the Way and want a quiet sense of how far the cathedral still lies ahead, or you're home between pilgrimages and missing the road, Ultreïa always shows the direction and the straight-line distance to the destination you choose.

What it does

  • Points toward 16 Camino landmarks — Santiago, Finisterre, Muxía, and the classic starts of the Francés, Portugués, Norte, Primitivo, Inglés, and more
  • A clean compass on your Apple Watch, plus an iPhone companion that draws the great-circle line from where you stand to the Way
  • Distance as the crow flies, in kilometres or miles
  • A watch-face complication to open it with a tap
  • A little history of the Camino, the yellow arrow, and the scallop shell

The distance is straight-line, not the walking route — a sense of the pull, not turn-by-turn directions.

Your location stays on your device

Ultreïa uses your location only to calculate the direction and the distance. It never leaves your phone: nothing is collected, stored, transmitted, or shared. The privacy policy says so in about as many words, because there isn't much to say.

Get it

Requires an iPhone; the compass runs on Apple Watch.


Ultreïa — the old pilgrims' cry, onward, beyond. However far away you are, the arrow always points you toward Santiago.

Buen Camino.
