Just wondering if anyone knows when The Botafumeiro takes place in the Cathedral. We have just arrived into Santiago and would anyone know if it will take place at the evening pilgrim mass or the pilgrim mass tomorrow morning
 
...and ship it to Santiago for storage. You pick it up once in Santiago. Service offered by Casa Ivar (we use DHL for transportation).
See this link.

It will be a surprise.

A larger group might have paid for it...


 
The focus is on reducing the risk of failure through being well prepared. 2nd ed.
Shop patrons in central Santiago used to pay the swinging of the Buitafumeiro Friday evening at Pilgrim Mass, but who knows if that is still on...
 
You just need to go and hope you get lucky. I attended 8 masses over 3 days and didn't see it once!
 
The 2024 Camino guides will be coming out little by little. Here is a collection of the ones that are out so far.
Its pretty much hit and miss. It depends if a pilgrim group has pre organised (i.e paid) for it to swing.
 
Ideal pocket guides for during and after your Camino. Each weighs just 40g (1.4 oz).
