Nice walk along the rio Sarria into the old town about 10 minutes away

Niska loves exploring the Spanish towns and makes lots of human friends

Steep steps up to the old town form part of the pilgrimage route

Only 114km left to walk to Santiago de Compostela. 667 km Completed from St Jean pied de port

Church of Saint Mariña is in the centre of the old town

A single lookout tower is all that remains of the Castle of Sarria at the top of the hill

Church of Saint Mariña is a small but beautiful church used by pilgrims

The town was full of pilgrims. Sarria is a starting point for a shorter pilgrimage to Santiago

View of the river from the footbridge.This part of Spain is surprisingly green for this time of year

Looking towards the town with the church tower visible. Riverside cafe was open.

The Aire had all services and was next to the leisure centre. Very quiet later on.

The beautiful town of Sarria is another major stop on the Camino Francés. The old town which is the most populous on the Camino was alive with people; including lots of pilgrims enjoying the autumn sunshine.
Our stopover bordering the park is a ten minute walk partly alongside the river with a climb up the stone staircase to take us to the old town.
Another beautiful drive today, Northern Spain is totally captivating.Read more
