LIVE from the Camino Sarria to Santiago

[Crandall]

Tommorow I hit Sarria. I normally have reservations, but none available, so far, nothing is available. Anyone pass that way recently? Are there beds available? Thanks?

Booking.con is showing availability (often expensive rooms). The Albergue de Peregrinos has 40 beds, doesn’t accept reservations, and is probably empty if recent reports from non-reservable accommodations are as accurate as they seem.

Just hit Sarria last night and walked to Portamarin today. It was like a tour group got off a bus at Disneyland. There was nothing peaceful or engaging ( for me!) along this busy part of the Camino and I suppose this is what we have to look forward to until Santiago. So grateful that I had the time to experience The Way pre-Sarria.

Don't know how the wonderly algoritms of bookingdotcom work but I see for tomorrow five albergues in Sarria that have beds in dorms available.

Everybody, and their spouses, their auntie Mimi and the kids start from Sarria at the weekend for their weeks walk to Santiago. Monday to Friday you can get two beds for the price of one (and a seat on the terrace)

It did get slightly better for me after the first day into Portomarin. They seemed to thin out a weee bit after that - or maybe they just got up later, and I missed them.

We are all pilgrims, regardless of where we start walking from.

In the last week I have stayed after Sarria in the following places that weren't full:
Casa Barbadelo
Eirexe Xunta - about half full
Melide Arraigos - a handful of empty beds, I think people who booked and didn't turn up
Tabernha Velha, a few beds, though Heidi has been mainly full
A Rua Espiritu Xacobea - many empty beds.

If you go to the tourist office they should be able to help. They have all sorts of places on their list.
