The hikers app
1. SURFERGARAGE
Surfing fans and professionals start spring with good news: the creation of an app specially designed for them: Surfergarage. This mobile app born from the passion for surfing with the idea of sharing photos, videos and geolocating surfers. It is very interesting to search for surf schools, discover new spots where you can conquer the waves and locate stores that dress us in the latest fashion. Undoubtedly, the best way to plan our next vacation on the table, inside and outside our country. And the best: the app is free.
Surfers already have their own app
two. FOURSQUARE
There are times when you start walking aimlessly through a city and when you realize you don't even know where you are. Don't worry, improvised plans are the ones that have the best ending. To discover everything around you, wherever you are, the Foursquare app helps you find a restaurant where you can recover your strength or an unknown museum to visit just around the corner . It also shows you a cinema where you can spend the afternoon, a square where you can take a beautiful photo or a store where you can start buying souvenirs. This application geolocates your position and places you back on the map. In addition, you can share your experience with other users in real time.
3. WORD LENS
Forget translators and dictionaries. To understand what it says on that intelligible German menu, on the Paris metro sign or on the Lisbon tram signs, it is enough to take out the camera of your mobile, focus and take a picture . And magic! With the Word Lens application you will have the translated text in a matter of seconds. The download of this app is free, although to use it you will have to buy the different language packs separately.
With Word Lens, there is no language that can resist us
Four. ELTENEDOR.ES
If you have a good palate and are looking for the best gastronomic bargains, the eltenedor.es app is a must for your mobile. This program helps you find the most fashionable Japanese in Madrid, the best rice restaurant in Valencia or the place where they serve the best cod pil pil in Bilbao. In all, more than 6,000 restaurants from all over the country within your smartphone . And the best thing is that you can book in real time and find the best promotions of the moment. Up to 50% discount on the price of the letter. And if you want, you can gossip the photos of the dishes on the menu. Eltenedor.es has been one of the six award-winning applications in the first edition of 'The AppTourism Awards 2014'.
5. MOMONDO PLACES
Can you imagine having the guide of an entire city within your mobile and without the need to continuously connect to the internet? the app Momondo Places makes it possible. This application is super practical when traveling: offers you a fun, original and easy to customize virtual guide. At the moment, guides for London, Paris, Barcelona, Berlin, Copenhagen, New York and Rome are available. They are all free and work perfectly in offline mode. Forget about paying data abroad or looking for cafes with WIFI. On your mobile you have everything.

6. NatureApps
Another of the recently awarded apps at 'The AppTourism Awards 2014' and that we love is Naturapps, the first spanish interactive hiking guide for smartphones. Created entirely by an Asturian company, this application takes us to the most incredible natural corners of our country. **Only in Asturias there are 50 routes (200 throughout Spain)**. We can personalize routes, find out the best bike paths, organize a climb or discover the most recommended paths to go with children. Each route comes with detailed information and an interactive map that we can download first and use offline later. Here the lack of coverage is not a problem.
7. LIVECLUBS
LiveClubs is the app for the night. When we go on a trip, we are often a bit clueless about the trendy bars and nightspots. Where are we going tonight? To find a good place to have a drink, LiveClubs helps us find out in real time about club promotions and interact with people to get opinions. It also includes a flirt chat (singles take note). In short, this app is a leisure guide that geolocates the best places to party in 17 Spanish cities. There is no longer an excuse to return to the hotel soon.
Nothing to return to the hotel soon.
8. DUOLINGO
We have found the perfect (and free) app to learn languages. This is Duolingo and its success is so resounding that it already has 12 million active users worldwide . With this app, you don't need to sign up for a language course. It is enough that you spend part of your free time "playing" with it to learn how to defend yourself on your travels. It's so much fun: this bird-faced app lets you expand your vocabulary while completing units and leveling up just like in a game. The objective is to finish each lesson without losing lives and accumulate points. And without realizing it, you learn. They ensure that about 34 hours learning English with this app is equivalent to a semester of language class.
