Sarria is about 100 kilometers from the end of the line, Santiago de Compostela. I walked about 6,000 steps today with almost no problems. I got winded and dizzy a couple of times but was able to find all the medieval sites in the city.
Sarria is also the first stop for the majority of of people who walk the Camino. You at least have to start at Sarria to get your Camino certification—a facsimile of the original Latin document.
