After our flight landed in Santiago we took the bus from the airport to the bus station. With it being sunday the bus station was very quiet. Actually it was nearly deserted. We were able to get ticket to go to Sarria. The bus however did not leave for a few hours, so we passed our time in the little cafe having our first meal in Spain.

Finally it was time to take the bus to Sarria. The ride itself was good. As I gazed out the window I realized that we were driving across roughly the same path we would be walking over the 6 days. Every now and then we would see a pilgrim along the road, not many though. Probably due to the fact it was after 3 in the afternoon and most pilgrims would have most likely been done with their walk for the day.
We arrived in Sarria roughly 2 hours later. We got off the bus and then using my gps on my phone we headed to find our room for the night. On this trip I had decided we would be staying in private rooms, either in small hotels or alburges when private rooms were available. With having our own room I was hoping it would help us get the rest our bodies would need. That and it meant we didn't need to pack sleeping bag or liners or towels. We found our room and took our things to our room, then headed out to find dinner and a walk around the town. The evening was warm and it was nice to explore the area. We then went to the room to prepare for the start of our walk.
