How to spot Casa Rurelas [Country inns] along the camino

[larryphd]

We are walking from Sarria to Santiago in October . I have heard about country inns called casa rurelas where one could stay. Can anyone tell me how one can spot them from the Camino. Do they have a sign such as a B&B sign or what? Thanks

I dont recall seeing 'casas rurales' but there are albergues, pensiones, hostales. If you walk the Camino I would highly recommend you reconsider and opt instead for staying in the albergues, where most pilgrims usually stay, as a large part of the Camino experience involves your interaction with your other pilgrims-some of which just may become life-long friends.

You will see the crest close to the front door, don't worry there is plently of good quality accommodation available along the way, just get a simple quide book it will list all places to eat and sleep. Enjoy!
