There is not a summer that I don’t escape to the Pyrenees. Whenever I have a free weekend or a long weekend, outside of my usual holidays, I take the opportunity to get in the car and escape to the mountains. Living in Pamplona comes easy to me and that’s why I do it very often.

But for the sake of convenience I always find myself either in Navarrese or in the Aragonese Pyrenees, so both Catalan and the other side remain completely foreign to me. The Pyrenees are magnificent, but there is so much to do and so much to do that all the information you gather is too little: I have no shortage of ideas since I downloaded this free app from Pyrenees.

What is the Pyrenees Pass and the best it has to offer

Name of the application in question Pyrenees Pass and can be downloaded for free from the Google Play Store (and the App Store if you have an iPhone). A few important details: the idea came from a Frenchman, and this can be seen from the names used (‘Foz de Lumbiere’ instead of ‘Foz de Lumbier’) and there are some untranslated parts, but you can roughly get by, and there are more than 250 companies associated with the project, which can be seen in the ads and recommendations.

As I explained in the introduction, my favorite part of this app is, Comprehensive guide to routes and activities both in the Pyrenees region and in the areas where it is located (for example, there is an entrance to the Pamplona Castle, but there are no Pyrenees here), so you can look for routes that you can do on your own, take quiet walks or trail runs or with your family.

Your guide It’s really great to organize by location, activity or interest.Although having such long menus can sometimes make things a bit cumbersome, and sometimes causes problems when loading maps and routes (but you can always get ideas from here and then search on Wikiloc).

But if you have the goal of preparing for an escape and You need accommodation and you know the services or activities available This will happen, it also compiles them so that you can make better choices. Considering that it has the feature of a tourism agency, some advertisements and accommodations also appear, along with the opportunity to benefit from offers and discounts during the reservation process.

The app has a social networking spotbecause as soon as you download the application you will have to create an account and your corresponding passport will be created, which allows you to publish content, follow people and have followers, since it is also used to meet people and create groups or set up meetups, although I already have the title Personal, I have entered this section many times and I rarely see any movement. Here it would be ideal if the application were better known to facilitate the exchange of plans.

The app has its downsides for being so ambitious: there are some imperfect sections, others are left unfinished, and there are two menus with very similar functions (both providing access to the search engine and your profile), one on the side and one on the back. The bottom part is sometimes confusing. But what has been said: If you are looking for travel ideas for the PyreneesIt’s the most interesting general application I’ve tried.
