Sarria

Sarria is a municipality in Galicia, Spain. Its namesake main village has 9,300 inhabitants (2023) and lies on the French Way (Camino Frances) of the Way of St. James. Sarria is by far the most often picked starting point to do a Camino de Santiago. Over 130,000 pilgrims started here in 2024. Many pilgrims choose Sarria because the distance from this point to Santiago allows them to cover the necessary kilometres to get the Compostela, a certificate. However, there are alternative starting points; see Way of St. James. In holy years (next ones 2027, 2032, 2038 and 2049) there is up to the double number of pilgrims. If you don't have a religious motivation, the holy years are better avoided, as finding accommodation will be more difficult.
