If you are planning to walk the Camino Santiago, this site allows you to develop a set of daily stages tailored to your level of fitness and preferences in terms of accommodation, food etc. The panner is designed to give you a globally optimal set of stages, stretching some a bit and reducing others, to give you the best overall trip. It does this by minimising "penance" a name that captures the total effort for a day, including distance, climbs and descents, accommodation, sources of food and other things.

Usage
This is intended to be a helpful tool for people planning their trip.
It provides a suggested itinerary that you can choose to ignore any time you feel like it.
De Calixtinus is (usually) fast enough to allow you to revisit things en-route, starting from where you currently are.
One of the reasons that it keeps your current set of preferences in a cookie is so that you can breeze through
things you don't want to change if, for example, you didn't quite make your goal and what to re-plan mid-camino.
De Calixtinus doesn't really distinguish between an interesting place
to stop, full of sights and entertainment, and a boring, dusty waypoint in the middle of nowhere.
Or a bar that is sometimes open for a couple of hours each day or a full-dress restaurant.
Or a small corner shop and a full-blown supermarket.
Units
De Calixtinus uses the metric system, both internally and for input and display.
A possible future enhancement is to allow the user to specify their preferred unit system but,
right now, netric it is.

De Calixtinus is still under development
Just because "Computer Says So!" doesn't mean it's a good idea.
So use your own judgement and check other sources of information.
The output from this program is no substitute for either careful planning or
casual resilience in the face of adversity.
I've done my best to be accurate about the data but ...
if you're relying on something to be true, check with other sources, as well.
Things change: places to stay come and go, temporarily shut down
or get filled up; roads get blocked; on Sunday everything shuts down and you need
to plan accordingly.
