History and what to see
Two variants: via San Xil, shorter, with the thousand-year-old chestnut of Ramil and sunken lanes between stone walls; or via Samos, 6 km longer, with the oldest Benedictine monastery in the West still in use, with vast cloisters and frescoes. Both meet in Sarria, the town where one in four pilgrims begins.
