Arrival in Sarria

We left our wonderful Madrid hotel and headed to the train station for our afternoon 4-hour trip to Sarria. It was a great train ride which included naps, reading and chocolate. We arrived in the town of Sarria (pop 13,500) around 5pm and we streamed off the train with approx 50 other peregrinos. Our hotel for the night is directly across from the train station so we had little to walk with our now somewhat embarrassingly large bags. 😂When we start tomorrow on the Camino, our duffles will be transferred to our next hotel 13 miles away. We will carry day packs with necessities.

We are both feeling a wide range of emotions. Excitement, nervousness, fear of the unknown. I think both of us will feel more assured after we’ve completed our first day. We will check in again after our 6-8 hours on The Way tomorrow. Next stop: Portomarin

Buen Camino!
