Want to go on a pilgrimage but only have one week? This Camino Frances from Sarria to Santiago de Compostela is perfect for you. This walking tour takes in the last 100 km of the Camino Frances (French Way), which is the minimum distance that needs to be completed to get the desired “Compostela“, recognizing your pilgrimage.

For many pilgrims, Sarria is the starting point of the Camino de Santiago, so it’s an exciting starting point with pilgrims excited about the sights, sounds, smells, and tastes they will experience in the coming week of walking on the Camino Frances.

The route from Sarria to Santiago de Compostela is part of the traditional route of the French Way that starts in Roncesvalles. It is also the busiest part. The route leads through pleasant and lush, green forests, which offers shelter from the sun in summer and through villages that, like on the rest of the route from Roncesvalles, were created and grown due to the Jacobean tradition the city of Sarria itself, route starting point.

Enjoy the rather simple pilgrim menu at lunchtime, however you must not forget that you are in Galicia, an area with a rich gastronomy. It is therefore definitely a must to pay tribute to this, for example with a good cheese from Arzúa typical of the area you are crossing.

Note that there are two ways of doing this Camino de Santiago from Sarria. The standard seven-day tour has a single stage from Palas de Rei to Arzúa, but it’s a long stage. For those with a bit more time, you can divide the Palas de Rei to Arzúa into two stages by adding an extra night with a stop in Melide.
