mspath said:Oonagh,
In Sarria the Albergue O Durmiñento at Rúa Maior nº 44 is a very nice private albergue. I have stayed there several times. You can reserve by calling in Spain 600 862 508 or +34 982 53 10 99 from elsewhere.
Buen Camino!
mcpat said:everyone if ye dont mind id like some help with the following questions
1 how do we get from santiago to sarra ?
2 how do we get our bags moved to the next place we are staying ( luggage bags)
3 what is the exact journey we want to go from sarra to the church? and do we book places to stay in advance
4 does anyone have a set list of places to stay are there many people to a room ? or can it be 2 in a room
5 where do we get the passports for the walk
many thanks im sure i left out other questions[/quote
1. Bus from airport
2. Hopefully you are taking backpacks with a very minimum weight..and you carry them.
There are many other posts about the stuff to pack.
3. Follow the yellow arrows that mark the way....actually just follow the other pilgrims.
4. You will want to stay in the albergues along the way. Again, there is a wealth of info on this site. Other pilgrims will point you to the albergues, etc.
5. You can get passport at the albergue in Sarria.
See if you can get a cheap flight to Barcelona, then bus to Pamplona (42 Euros Rountrip). You can start from Roncesvalles or from Sant Jean Pied de Port; you can take the bus to either one from Pamplona. Check the seasonal schedules.mcpat said:thank you grayland and everyone for the help
any other advice is greatly welcomed
Yes, many options; check Jacotrans.com. At 9 Euros/day/suitcase NTE 25 pounds.mcpat said:hi
what is the story with luggage is there a way it can be picked up and moved on from location to location ??
Actually, it is advised that you get a stamp where you stay each night..the 2nd stamp can come from a pub, church, etc.tyrrek said:Hi McPat
When you get your pilgrim passport it will have a stamp in it to show where you started. After that you'll need to get one in every place you stay. It doesn't have to be an albergue; any hotel/hostal/bar etc. Some people get as many stamps as they can as a souvenir. It's mainly about proving that you've walked the distance, so it doesn't really matter whether you got the stamp in a church or a pub. Try to get 2 each day and I'm sure you'll be fine.

tyrrek said:Thanks Grayland. Yes, I should have been more specific. Am I right in thinking this is more important on the relatively short Caminos? I walked the Frances from SJPP a few months ago and I just got one stamp a day (usually where I was staying but not necessarily so). That seemed to be fine, but I'm thinking of doing the Ingles shortly and saw advice to get at least two stamps daily.
