What is the toughest stage of the Camino de Santiago from Sarria?

The toughest stage of the Camino from Sarria is the third one, from Palas de Rei to Arzúa (29 km). In addition to its long distance, its final stretch, known as the “leg breaker,” features a series of climbs and descents in the last 8 km, increasing the difficulty and requiring extra effort from pilgrims before reaching Arzúa.

  • If you are doing the Camino from Sarria in 4 stages, the hardest might be the fourth and final one, from Arzúa to Santiago de Compostela, which covers almost 40 km.
  • And if you are doing the Camino from Sarria in 6 stages, in this case, the hardest would be the second, between Portomarín and Palas de Rei, with around 25 km.
