Enjoy it, whether you have one or more days. Come and experience its nature, its history and its friendliness.
#caminosarria
At 114 kilometres from Santiago, Sarria is the perfect starting point if you want to obtain the Compostela. But also to enjoy capable walks through the historic centre or along the Sarria river, such as the Ruta das Aceas and the Paseo del Malecón. A medieval town full of history, Jacobean tradition and life! It vibrates with pilgrims, coming from other towns in Galicia, Spain and other countries. All of them have impregnated for centuries the friendly and hospitable character of the people who live and work in Sarria. Start your #CaminoenSarria and get the Compostela.
#visitosarria
In Sarria we have plans adapted to you. If you only have 1 day, we recommend a circular tour of the town, stopping at monuments, churches and historic buildings. If you have 2 days, you can also enjoy our natural surroundings, parks and recreational areas around the river. But if you are lucky enough to have more days, make excursions to the Terras de Sarria, Samos, Ribeira Sacra, Courel or Ancares. In any of these 3 plans try to feel, enjoy the details. The rich smell of freshly baked bread at the Bread Museum, the taste of the freshest products at the weekly fairs, a good conversation in a charming place, the feeling of entering another era when you visit an antique shop on Porvir street, seeing cows and pigs grazing free in the meadows and mountains, the sounds of the river…
#saboreosarria
Enjoy a tasty Galician veal cutlet that melts in your mouth, a spectacular Celtic pork stew or lacón con grelos (pork shoulder with turnip tops). As well as varied and tasty traditional sausages. But if you’re more of a green person, try local vegetables (beets, turnip greens or cabbage) and recipes prepared with them, such as Galician broth. And don’t leave Sarria without trying the pulpo á feira, the most typical desserts or the bread and pastries of all kinds. Savour Sarria in bars, restaurants, fairs and local shops
After an intense day of walking or visiting the Lands of Sarria you need a good place to sleep and rest. In Sarria we have been receiving pilgrims of the French Way of Saint James and visitors since the Middle Ages. So you only have to choose between welcoming establishments for all tastes and budgets: Hotels, rural tourism houses, guesthouses, hostels, camping or motorhome area. Relax in Sarria and experience the hospitality of the Sarrians.
