Find the A Áspera bridge
The regional route description takes walkers out of Sarria across the A Áspera bridge towards Barbadelo. Mark the bridge and your arrival point on the same map. If you have a bed in town the night before, find where your street joins the marked route and start there in the morning.
Check your timing at Ferreiros
Ferreiros is an identifiable point partway along the official stage. Before setting out, estimate when you might reach it using your pace on a recent walk with a pack. Compare that estimate with the time when you arrive and tell your host if your check-in time has changed.
Leave time after the bridge
Crossing the reservoir brings you to the foot of the steps leading into Portomarín. Reaching the bridge at five does not leave time for a five o’clock key collection in the square. Look up your street before arrival. If steps are difficult for you, ask the property about a suitable approach when you book.
