Hi fellow travellers,
We have booked our trip from Sarria to Santiago over 11 days purely to enjoy a slower pace and take in all the scenery.
I am now having some reservations after having read some threads on this site about the amount of pilgrims travelling this section. Of course I am completely aware that this is one of the most popular sections but should I be put off by what sounds like a very touristy populated hike?
We have chosen this trip as we really want to finish in Santiago but have time constraints. It also looks amazingly pretty. We plan to stay at many of the Casa Rurales so we can enjoy a local family's hospitality.
We would be interested to understand what like minded travellers allow for the cost of food, particularly lunch and dinners?
Also just trying to figure out the best way to get to Sarria from Madrid? I assume it is a train?
Thanks in advance for your help.
