Arrival at Sarria

We did fly Swiss Air from Copenhagen via Zürich to  Santiago de Compostella.
On the flight from Zürich many passengers with hiking boots, it was obvious that many were going to the Camino.
We had booked a taxi through the hostal in Sarria.
The taxi driver,  waited for us with a sign with my name. After filling out some papers - communication was not that easy as the driver could not speak English - we drove to Sarria - the ride would take about one and a half hours.
A pleasant drive in nice weather, through a very beautiful landscape with lots of pine forests.

Restaurant for dinner

We did book all hotels at booking.com. First two nights booked at the Boutique Hostal La Casona de Sarria in the pedestrian area of the old part of the city. Spartan, but clean and tidy and that was all we needed. A kitchen with coffee / tea and a fridge with drinks included in the price. We went for a walk and found a place to have dinner. A cheap meal consisting of 3 simple dishes and one big draft beer for 9 EUR per person - very nice. Now it was time to pack your backpacks for tomorrow's hike.
