The only town in the area which is exactly 100 kilometers from Santiago is Ferreiros.,<BR>
Many pilgrims unwilling to deal with the crowds in Sarria go to PortoMarin by bus and take a taxi for the 11 kilometers therefrom to Ferreiros.<BR>
Happily, there is a very nice pilgrims' bar/restaurant in Ferraris and the walk therefrom to Portomarin is all downnhill and greenery.</FONT></HTML>
