About Sarria

Not to be confused with the neighborhood in Barcelona, Sarria is a historic town in northwest Spain, known as an important stop on the impressive Camino de Santiago pilgrimage route. The town's origins are ancient, with evidence of habitation dating back to prehistoric times, as indicated by megalithic graves and ancient hill forts. The town was historically referred to as Vilanova de Sarriá before its name evolved to Sarria.

It is an architecturally inviting town. This is thanks to the Pilgrim's Road to Santiago de Compostela passing through the area centuries ago. The presence of this road led to the construction of many ecclesiastical buildings, which you can find in the town and tour. The town’s architectural wonders also show Sarria’s medieval legacy—several examples of military and civil architecture dating back to the medieval period.
