Where to stay soonish after Sarria?

[Snigelanna]

Hi,
Will do the last 10 from Sarria next week. Will start walking around 3 in the afternoon so I will not make it that far. Any suggestions on where to stay?

Welcome Anna, if memory serves me right there is a hostal in Ferreiros, about 13 km from Sarria, this should take you about 3 to 4 hours depending on speed. Others here may have more up to date information. Enjoy.
Buen Camino.

Great! Thank you so much!

Casa Carmen just beyond Barbadelo is very nice with spacious grounds to relax in (or throw a stick for the dogs!).
They do a good dinner and breakfast.I stayed there in April.

Casa Morgade is about a half stage and you can make reservations.
Ferreiros is small - may be full that late in the day.
Barbadelo is a good choice, just outside Sarria, only 4 to 5 k.
Personally, that late in the day, I'd just stay in Sarria and enjoy it!
You can book online at www.booking.com or take your chances.

Back from the walk. We ended up in Morgade the first night. Arrived at 5 and our walking companions got the last beds while I ended up in a double room. Great place! Thanks again for all recommendations!

Pardon the walk down memory lane, but I stayed in the albergue in Morgade on an early Camino Frances in 2001 or 2002. At that time, there was just the room with 6 (?) beds and a little room downstairs where we were served dinner and breakfast. The owner, a woman from the north who had married her gallego sweetheart and moved to his Morgade farm, was in charge. She treated us royally. I hadn't been back to this place in years and years. Last year, when I walked the end of the Camino Frances, I passed and saw a huge change -- outdoor cafe, new hotel rural, lots and lots of business. I asked the guy who was at the cash register about the woman who had started it all, and he went to the kitchen and brought her out! Though they were very busy, the woman insisted on sitting and chatting with me over a cold drink (which she would not take money for). It's now a family affair, several generations, and she is still very much involved. They have not lost their kindness and their intent to provide high quality service. So nice to see on the Camino, where total burnouts cause many owners to fall into cynicism and lose their love of the Camino. I echo Snigelanna's high praise! Buen camino, Laurie

Me too! We stayed here this year, and it was lovely - they are so kind and welcoming as you say. I have very fond memories of sitting outside at one of their cafe tables (basically on the "road", which ends there) in the late afternoon sun after the waves of pilgrims heading for Portomarin had moved on, drinking tea and sharing this sunny corner with the owners' old dog.
