I am doing my Camino this summer. Planning to be at Leon or Astorga this August 1st. Can someone tell me what churches host the pilgrim's mass at either city? thx!
 
...and ship it to Santiago for storage. You pick it up once in Santiago. Service offered by Casa Ivar (we use DHL for transportation).

I do not know if there are specific Masses for pilgrims in both cities but you are perfectly welcome to join all the regular Masses in all churches.


The Sisters of this albergue in Leon ( Monasterio de Santa María de Carbajal ) have a Service at 7 pm.
At 9.30 there are the Completes with Pilgrim's Blessing.

In Leon, I found the mass at Basilica Isidoro very moving. Pilgrims are brought up to the alter as a group and a blessing is made. After mass, pilgrims are greeted individually by the priest at the back of the alter, sacristy?, and leve vía a side door , passing an ancient part of the original church, normally not accessible to the public. It was pretty special.
 
Very light, comfortable and compressible poncho. Specially designed for protection against water for any activity.

Our Atmospheric H30 poncho offers lightness and waterproofness. Easily compressible and made with our Waterproof fabric, its heat-sealed interior seams guarantee its waterproofness. Includes carrying bag.

€60,-

Thank you. This information was helpful!
 
The first edition came out in 2003 and has become the go-to-guide for many pilgrims over the years. It is shipping with a Pilgrim Passport (Credential) from the cathedral in Santiago de Compostela.

Thanks! That is what I'm looking for. In our last Camino I had a very good (and similar experience) at O Cebreiro. I will check it out. Thank you all for the replies!

For Astorga, this website should help: https://www.diocesisastorga.es/actualidad/horario-de-misas . Most (thought not all) will have a pilgrim’s blessing after the Mass, and most will have a stamp too.

I remember we got to Astorga after lunch, and the Cathedral didn’t have a Mass in the afternoon. I remmène praying to be led to a Mass, and what do you know, I stumbled into the church next to the Cathedral (Iglesia de Santa Marta) and Mass was being celebrated! Was so happy 😊.
 
€2,-/day will present your project to thousands of visitors each day. All interested in the Camino de Santiago.
