Triacastela to Sarria

Hello, everyone. As we approach the goal of our pilgrimage,  we join many of our fellow pilgrims in wanting to get it done. (Something about sleeping somewhere new every night, I think.) 

Triacastela is a smallish town, and the masses of pilgrims passing through there has affected the layout. Along the pilgrims' path there are eating places and sleeping places, and in the afternoon as the day's arrivals filter in, there are people hanging out at the outdoor tables watching for trail friends to come past.

The dog knows where to find a cool drink 

This old fountain still has benches around it. Pilgrims passing through use them to rest or to remove layers if the day is warm.

From Triacastela to Sarria there are 2 routes. We took the San Xil way.

We stayed in a barndominium in Sarria, a former barn that has been converted to a small pensión for travelers. Our room appeared to have been a dovecote in the past. The stone walls are about 2 feet thick and the original windows are about 10 inches square. (Now glassed in, of course. ) There was a modern window in our room and on a shelf below it was an electric heater.

As it's getting late, I will sign off now.
