The most walked day on the whole Camino: tens of thousands of pilgrims set off from Sarria every year. You climb the steps of the old town and enter a landscape of oaks, stone walls and hamlets. About halfway comes the 100 km marker. Arriving in Portomarín across the Belesar reservoir and up the long stairway is unforgettable.
