Yes, loved the rooftop tour...more than once!Another night. Rest, sightsee a bit. I have heard Cathedral rooftop tour is not to be missed.
Buen camino.
Did you mean "second night in Santiago"?Definitely plan on a second night in Sarria. You will have lots of new friends to hang out with!
Yes, oops! Definitely a second night in Santiago, with all of your new friends!Did you mean "second night in Santiago"?
was thinking that could happen and I might regret rushing off... thanks for replyDefinitely plan on a second night in Sarria. You will have lots of new friends to hang out with!
ETA - I meant second night in Santiago!
That sounds really good... I think I will book the 2nd night rather than have any regretsIf you find yourself with an extra day or 2 there are busses going to Muxia or Finnesterre . I walked out to Finnesterre, & was pleasantly supprised to find busses going back t0 Santiago thru the day. Also you will find a travel shop directly west of the Cathedral that a NZ couple booked a day bus to boat ride to some Islands off the coast. I spent 2 days in Santiago very interesting fun place.
I am curious how many days you have for your walk, for those of us that started in SJDP by the time we reach Sarria we have been walking for at least 3 weeks so for the most part we are use to putting in long miles. So for example if I were to return & start in Sarria my daily distances would be no where near the 35-40k I was walking after 3 weeks. It took 5 days from Sarria but if I started there I would give myself 8-9-10 due to my beer child. My theory is if you can run a 5 k keep your distance to 20k if you can run a 10k your ok to 30+k a day but listen to your body. Especially starting out.That sounds really good...

Thanks for reply and helping me decide

That's a theory I haven't heard before. It doesn't apply to many of us who can't run any distance at all, but who can walk 30k. They are very different activities!My theory is if you can run a 5 k keep your distance to 20k if you can run a 10k your ok to 30+k a day
I agree. I can't run a 5k, but I can easily walk 30k in a day. While I encountered runners who struggled to walk 20k every day.That's a theory I haven't heard before. It doesn't apply to many of us who can't run any distance at all, but who can walk 30k. They are very different activities!

Definitely another day. We walked from SJPP but had 3 friends meet us in Sarria to begin their Camino and they had no difficulty with the days. If you go from Palas de Rei to Arzua as we did, that's the only longer than usual day but it would be day 3. We stopped in Pedruzo Arca the night before Santiago and the walk into Santiago is short from there. We started at 0530 and were in the Plaza by 1100. You'll kill the remainder of the day meeting friends, eating, waiting in line at the Pilgrims Office, etc. The extra day will give you time to see the beautiful city...go to the Market early, pick out fish or meat and veggies and there's a place that will cook it for you in the Market. Enjoy and Buen Camino!Just wondering what your opinions on wind down time once finished the Camino are?
I'm only walking from sarria to Santiago and planned on staying 1 night there but after reading comments somewhere else I'm wondering should I stay a little longer? I won't be able to stay much longer as I have to get home but maybe another night even?
Love to hear your recommendations

Thanks... I think I will take the 2 nights I'm glad I asked and got other opinions as I'm pretty clueless.. so all advice is very helpful and welcomeHi Paula, a little space and margin between walking and heading home is always good, in my book. I think you'll really enjoy having 2 nights in Santiago.
Have fun with all your planning and Buen Camino!
Thank god cause I'm not a runner either lolThat's a theory I haven't heard before. It doesn't apply to many of us who can't run any distance at all, but who can walk 30k. They are very different activities!
