There is a bus that goes from Sarria to Tui (Portugués camino) and you can then walk the last 100klm from TuiWhen walking the Frances, is there an alternative to another route (Primitivo, Ingles) where I cross over to avoid doing the Sarria route?
I have walked many CFs. I will never walk from Sarria again. Go to the train station in Sarria and get a train to Zamora/Pueble de Sanabria, then walk the Sanabres into Santiago. Easy and peaceful.When walking the Frances, is there an alternative to another route (Primitivo, Ingles) where I cross over to avoid doing the Sarria route?
Never Alex? Never. I just walked the Inglés for the umpteenth time. I laughed at myself as I looked at the “crowds” and at the thought “this is just like “Sarria””.I have walked many CFs.

Peace.
That's what I am looking for. A quieter route. Done the Frances from SJPdP three times and looking for sometheing quieter at that point.You can switch to the Invierno at Ponferrada, there are plenty of albergues, but you will encounter very few other pilgrims.

El Camino de Invierno es el trazado jacobeo que une Ponferrada con Santiago de Compostela pasando por el valle del río Sil y la Ribeira Sacra. Se trata de una gran variante meridional del Camino Francés que evita las cumbres del Cebreiro, y que por tanto resulta más asequible en invierno, como...www.gronze.com
I've walked the Frances 3 times from SJPdP. Just looking for something quieter and different from Sarria on. What would you consider "off-seasons"? I have walked April-May, September-October. I'm a bit apprehensive about winter and not a fan of heat.The Invierno from Ponferrada? The Via Kunig from Ponferrada to Lugo? The Invierno and the Via Sacra?
What’s wrong with the Way from Sarria? If it’s the crowds walk in the off-seasons. If it’s the pavement, you’re in Galicia. Turismo Galicia knows what’s good for you.
Edit: from Ponferrada you can get a bus to Lugo; Ferrol; Tui; Ourense or even Santiago. You can get buses to all sorts of other places too but they aren’t the sacred 100km from himself
Maybe I should go and wince the Lebaniego one more time.
I would have thought, on past but not recent experience, that hitting Sarria in October would leave you behind the pack. My recent experience on the Inglés is leading me to thoughts such as “you know nothing old man”. But, oh such a but, what’s wrong with walking with a few more, even many more, enthusiasts?I've walked the Frances 3 times from SJPdP. Just looking for something quieter and different from Sarria on.

How about just doing a different route that is more quite?I've walked the Frances 3 times from SJPdP.
