    Day 37 Sarria
    Distance from Triacastela to Sarria
    19kms

    Leaving Triacastela on a foggy morning with the views obscured we climbed up and out of the town and along the woodland path. We hoped the fog would lift and the threat of rain would not come to much. Villages were few and those we did pass housed the local farmers attending to their cows vegetable gardens or simply standing outside the cowshed having a yarn.
    The path was easy and the distance short it felt like a long stroll.
    Sarria has become a major starting point for pilgrims with limited time (or energy) and with 100kms to Santiago (the minimum requirement to receive a Compostela) the way becomes busy. The rain stayed away another Camino friend arrived in Santiago today and we have 5 days to go.
