Triacastela › Sarria

🗺️ Stage Map

📖 Stage Description

Triacastela offers two paths to Sarria. The Samos variant passes through one of Spain's largest and oldest Benedictine monasteries — its cloisters and atmosphere are unforgettable. Sarria is a key milestone: it is the last starting point that allows pilgrims to earn the Compostela (you must walk the final 100 km).
