    Default Rua is Calle

    For anyone using John Brierley's guidebook....The streets are written as Rua the whatever but when you ask directions as "Rua" locals give you a blank look. Everything is "Calle."
    Not funny when you're arriving in Sarria at 9.15 pm and it's dark and you have to find your way.
    Bear in mind my Spanish isn't that good.

    I believe both "rua" and "calle" work in Sarria where the primary language is Gallego (Galician). But "calle" is preferred for Spanish-speakers.
