Sarria was really nice, modern and clean. We stayed in a nice hotel with a hair dryer.
After Sarria we walked to Portomarin. It was a lovely forest walk. Portomarin is a town on a reservoir. It was the first lake that I have seen. It was really pretty. The Camino crossed the lake on a bridge.
We were staying at an environmentally conscious resort.
They had a giant photo voltaic panel that they use to run electricity to the resort. I should mention that Spain is very into alternative energy. All the mountaintops and ridgelines are lined with windmills for generating electricity. We also saw solar farms for electricity and solar hot water panels on rooftops.
Anyway, this resort had camping, but we stayed in one of the tiny cabins by the lakeside. The owner called it a "Play House for Big People".
