Sarria route options from Triacastela

[Nazare]

Hi pilgrims after a wet, bone drenching walk from O'Cebreiro today, I am keen on following the shorter route via San Xil to Sarria but want to know whether it is well marked as I am too tired to struggle with navigation. Also would like to know how difficult the terrain is? Hope the rain is gone by the morning.

It is well marked. The terrain is fairly mild.

Thank you falcon269.

Yes, not to worry. it's rolling up and down, but as @falcon269 says, mildly so.
I actually was surprised to find that I liked this route better than the one through Samos. It's lovely.
Buen camino--I hope the weather treats you better than it did today.

Both routes are very well marked but the route via Samos is more breathtaking imo - even in the rain (done that!). Buen Camino, SY

Well marked, less highways, manageable, with spectacular views of the valley (San Xil). Buen Camino

Thank you everyone! Feeling invigorated this morning and have decided on San Xil.

It is one of the most beautiful stages. Be sure to stop at Art's Gallery, just out of Triacastela. Really nice, intersting guy. Wish I were there to walk that stage again.
