Day 27 – Tricastela to Sarria

We stayed at a Pension/Albergue last night and they don’t offer any meals or other services. So we walked down the street as soon as it was light for a typical camino breakfast of orange juice, toasted roll and jam, and coffees. The day started normal enough with a walk uphill. The village was in a valley so to leave it we had to walk uphill, again. It was a steady climb along leafy country roads and tracks, through rolling hills and pastures.

We walked through a number of villages and hamlets, some of which seems to have no name, but all had big farm dogs doing what farm dogs do. Chase cows or sleep.

We were walking along the path minding our own business and our track disappeared into a creek.

Not many of the villages presented an opportunity for a break early in the walk. We came across a village with a cafe only after we had entered the fog.

It stayed foggy almost all the way to a Sarria.

Sarria is about 112km from Santiago de Compostela, this is the minimum distance required to be completed to earn a Compostela.

We have filled out our original credentials, and we went to the church in Sarria to obtain additional credentials to continue our journey to Santiago de Compostela.

We walked up the hill that we will walk over tomorrow to have a look at Sarria.
