Stage 33 – Triacastela to Sarria 17km / 114km

We left our albergue here at about 7:30am after coffee and farewells to Bishnu

Walking down mainstreet Triacastela, we can feel the warm moist air currents already mixing with the cool morning air

The Camino takes us past the old blacksmith’s house just out of town before turning into the woods. There’s maybe 20 or 30 people leaving town in a long bunch

The crowds spread out rapidly as we pass through woods and quiet villages

In a small village just out of Triacastela, we come across….

Authur’s art studio. A small stone hut where Authur paints and sells his work. It’s a gorgeous little studio overlooking gardens down to the river.

Aurthur Manton-Lowe, paints stuff like this. We got some post cards.

We passed through this little place before….

…climbing steeply up into the forest.

We passed this iconic water fountain

We past San Xil at the top of the hill as the sun rose over the mountains

Coming into Montan….

…we admired this awesome tree before stopping at…

…the donativo at Montan for herbal tea, boiled egg and nuts. We felt a bit out of place not wearing home spun clothes or smelling like we hadn’t washed for a week, but otherwise it was really cool.
