Stage 28: Triacastela - Sarria
This small town, founded in the ninth century, has 700 inhabitants. In its church of Santiago, from the 18th century, are represented the three castles that give rise to the name of the town.
The Triacastela quarries were important for the construction of the Cathedral of Santiago. Today the same quarries produce material for cement manufacturers.
In this stage you have to choose between two routes. Both are equally pleasant, although the one to Samos is quieter. The choice is made when leaving Triacastela.
For the first part of the Samos route it is recommended to bring plenty of water and some refreshments. The second part has a climb of 250 meters in the first 5 km. This Samos route is longer at 6.5 km, but it is easy to walk.
Many pilgrims choose to walk alone from Sarria to Santiago, as it is the easiest town to reach. Those who walk the last 100 km from Sarria are entitled to collect their Compostela. The last two villages on both routes are about 4 km from Sarria.
