Masses, prayer services vespers along the invierno?

[JCarpenter]

I am hoping to discover such things along the Invierno. Has anybody experienced availability of religious services along this Way?

I plan on walking the Invierno and also would be interested in this answer.

Much less available on the Invierno than on the main drag.

The only church we found open for services was in Silleda when we stopped on a Sunday, and the church at Taboada where mass had just finished when we rolled up, so we were able to go in and my Catholic brother-in-law could do his religious thing.

No.
The only exception was the open church near Taboada.

The Invierno is nothing like the Francés. Brierley may have written a guidebook, but don't be deceived by that - it's pretty quiet.

Never experienced any services this past July and the only open church I found was in the hamlet of Montefurado (between A Rúa and Quiroga) but that's because Maribel of the Oficina de Turismo stands outside a couple of mornings a week and waves you over to give you a tour. She is a wealth of information, definitely take her up on her offer!

Almost all the churches are closed. In the larger towns, like Lalin and Chantada, they have operational churches, but no specific Masses for pilgrims or anything. And Masses might only be on Sundays, but you can check.

Thanks for posting.

And thank you to all with the updates.

Hoping to see at least a few churches open.
