Sarria

Tradition

Sarria lies a little more than 100 km from Santiago, so many pilgrims start here: the Pilgrim's Office gives the Compostela for at least the last 100 km on foot, 200 km by bicycle.

Here today

A Galician town on a hill, the busiest start on the Way; from here the paths are crowded in summer.
