sarria to santiago

I got into Santiago de C. today on a flight. I am now awaiting a bus to O Cebreiro to continue where I finished last year. Im in this beautiful little church on the outskirts as I want to avoid seeing the cathedral and old town untill I finish my camino there in 7 days time. It is very quite...

It was a beautiful day today ,sunny but not too hot and a great athmosphere and camradee amongst the perigrinos.Today was busier, I would guess I saw 40 to 50 about 50 50 of spanish and european. I walked solo for first half of day and with a pilgrim from france for 2nd part. It was a long walk...

I've completed 400km of the Camino Frances over the past 15 months and need to walk the stretches from Burgos to Sarria (I walked from Sarria to Santiago in June 2019) to complete my Camino. Ideally, I would walk the Burgos to Leon 8-day stage first and then walk from Leon to Santiago. However...

Hi all, I'm wondering if anyone had a plan that would allow me to complete the last 100 from Sarria in 5-5.5 days? I'm fit, have some experience walking and won't be carrying much baggage so I don't mind long days, but was wondering if there were obvious places I could stop/ accommodation en...

Stone Footbridge out of Sarria

Hello. I am planning on walking with 5-7 girlfriends from Sarria to Santiago for my 55th birthday . . . well 60th to be truthful. One friend is planning to cancel because of her knees but I’m hoping to find an alternative - biking. She, and maybe one other for company, would bike while we walk...

I’m on my walk and started May 8, I’m in Burgos now. If my 15 year old granddaughter wanted to join me from the USA and walk from Sarria (or any where on Camino Frances) what would be a good flight over and what would be the best way to retrieve her from an airport. I would have to leave my walk...

Hi.....Fellow walkers/pilgrims, I starting my walk independently on the 29th May from Sarria.... that's if i manage to get to my starting point by bus from Santiago 🧐....(Santiago to Lugo then Lugo to Sarria) I'm excited, but also a bit apprehensive it being my first Camino 🥰 ....so many...

Hi, is anyone else doing this stage on these dates? I walked the entire CF in 2012, but now I only have a week off from work, and I think that April, and Easter, would be a great time for Galicia!

Hi all! Having a tough time finding open lodging for the last part of the route beginning Sarria March 1. In addition,it looks like many restaurants are also closed. Is this generally a bad time to walk? I will be doing so solo and would love not to be totally alone the whole time... I may be...

Hi everyone, I am hoping to do the final stretch of the walk beginning February 28, finishing no later than the 5th of March. As a solo female walker and it being still technically winter, is this a good time to go, or would it be better to wait until April? I will be traveling and in Madrid...

My first time on the Camino, I wanted to start small. I'm walking from Sarria to Santiago, then on to Finisterre. I find the best schedule for me is to fly into Madrid at the start, flying out of Santiago de Compostela at the end. My questions to the group are: How do I get from Madrid to...

As a follow-up to my previous post about navigating the Camino with walking difficulties, I wanted to check with folks who've walked the last 100 km from Sarria to Santiago. Based on previous responses, I would make arrangements in advance with private accommodations and use taxis to get to/from...

Hi! I hiked most of Camino Frances (some bussing due to injuries) starting in Saint John Pied de Port last year with my mother. For us, it was pretty simple to get the train in and start at the "start" of the trail. Next summer, I am planning a trip with my best friend who has NEVER hiked...

This year while working for a month, from mid-July to mid-August, as a volunteer at the Pilgrim Office in Santiago I had many opportunities to talk to arriving pilgrims each day. This year there were several emergent issues: - For non-Spanish pilgrims, the Camino del Norte, Camino Portuguese...

Hello! Please let me start by saying I have tried to find this information on my own but having a hard time figuring out some specifics that I'm hoping the wonderful people of this forum can help me with! A little background: Last October, my Dad and I walked from SJPP to Longrono, where we...

Hello, I have lurked here for months readying for our Camino and thank you all for your generous posts and comments that have helped far more people than you know beyond the original poster. I, a single mom, have 10 days to walk from Sarria to Santiago with my 10 year old daughter. From your...

I have been asked to share a link to a petition that has just been launched by ADEGA (Asociacion Para a Defensa Ecoloxica de Galiza), to stop the aggressive path works which the Axencia Gallega de Turismo (Tourism arm of Xunta de Galicia) is doing on the Caminos in Galicia. The petition states...

Last year, after much hesitation, I finished my pilgrimage with the Sarria-SdeC stages. I had somewhat avoided them in my previous walks, for no particular reasons. Just kind of a feeling... Well, at the end it was, uhm, just ok. So I have decided to give them another try, this time in December...

Finally I made my first steps! After a long day of flying, waiting, flying again, taking a bus, I finally get where my starting point was. Sarria. And I said it before...i will walk the camino light version. But it's my camino. And before I took a delicious meal, I went to the centre to see some...
