The Town

Discover Sarria

Sarria, a vibrant Galician town in the province of Lugo, has established itself as the most popular starting point on the Camino Francés. Its strategic location, just over 100 kilometers from Santiago, allows pilgrims to cover the minimum distance required to earn the coveted Compostela, making the town a hive of walkers of every nationality. The Jacobean atmosphere fills every corner, from the Rúa Maior, lined with albergues and pilgrim shops, to the remains of the old castle keeping watch over the town from above. The Monasterio de la Magdalena, with its pilgrims' hospital, stands as testimony to a long history of hospitality. For the pilgrim, Sarria is not just a logistical starting point but the gateway to the Camino's most emblematic stretch of Galicia. From here, the route heads into a landscape of lush oak and chestnut woods, small stone hamlets, and the characteristic "corredoiras." To begin the Camino in Sarria is to plunge headlong into the magic of the final stretch, sharing the excitement and anticipation with hundreds of fellow walkers.
