The Town

Discover Sarria

Sarria, a vibrant Galician town in the province of Lugo, has consolidated itself as the most popular starting point for the Camino Francés. Its strategic location, just over 100 kilometers from Santiago, allows pilgrims to meet the minimum distance requirement needed to obtain the coveted Compostela, turning it into a hub of walkers from all nationalities. The Jacobean atmosphere is palpable in every corner, from its Rúa Maior, flanked by hostels and shops for pilgrims, to the remains of its old castle that watches over the town from above. The Monastery of the Magdalena, with its pilgrim's hospital, is a testament to its long history of hospitality. For the pilgrim, Sarria is not just a logistical starting point, but the entrance to Galicia's most emblematic stretch of the Camino. From here, the route enters a landscape of lush forests of oaks and beeches, small stone villages, and characteristic "corredoirs". Starting the journey in Sarria is fully immersing oneself in the magic of the final stretch, sharing the excitement and anticipation with hundreds of fellow travelers.
