cathedral

We are currently in Lalín on our way to Santiago. Are the rooftop tours still available? I read somewhere that perhaps the roof is being restored and tours are not available. We will be there this Saturday, September 16!

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

Hello I know there are few Solemnities in a year when Botafumeiro operates (Christmas, Resurrection Sunday, Pentecost...). Does anybody know if it operates at every Mass on those days?

I am confused as to which tickets to purchase so if someone has visited the Cathedral recently I would appreciate help. We want to visit the Torre and the Portico. I do not understand " Remember that you must purchase the same number of tickets at the Portico de la Gloria". Can anyone explain??? 🙃

I looked at the website for the Cathedral, and saw posted times with the specific title of Pilgrim Mass at 0730, 0930, 1200 and 1730 daily. On my last two visits, I was only aware of a Pilgrim Mass at noon. Is this something new? If this is indeed a Pilgrim Mass, is the chance of seeing the...

Anyone who has recently arrived in Santiago, is it now possible to climb up behind the altar in the cathedral & hug the saint? 🤗🤗

Hello, We arrive sunday 21 of august in Burgos, to start our camino by bike. Where can we buy the compostela in Burgos?

Is it my imagination or is there not an announcement before the Pilgrim Masses at the Cathedral asking people NOT to take photos or videotape - which would include the swinging of the Botafumeiro?

(Monday July 25th 2022)

Wondering if anyone has EVER seen the botafumeiro swing at the 7:30 am mass and if the lines are long to get in at that time of morning? Thanks

First off THANK YOU to all Groups and Pilgrims that had the Botafumerio swung during the month of May for it was swung 40+ times which is great. Starting June 1st the cost rose from 450 Euro to 500 Euro and since the Camino is becoming so busy reservations for your special occasion should be...

Just saw this article which has some information about the great silver-caped image of the Apostle in the cathedral in Santiago. Also some explanation of the history and symbolism of the ornate decoration around the high altar...

Hey guys! I'm set to arrive in sdc Sunday. Do you guys know if the pilgrim office is still handling passes for mass?

We are getting conflicting information on the cathedral in Santiago de Compostela. Is the cathedral open? Are pilgrims masses being held there? What day(s) will the Botafumerio take place?

For those now walking the Camino. The Botafumeio will be swung at the 12:00 Mass 30 May 2022

Does anyone have a good photo of the Statue of Santiago in the cathedral at SdeC? I am not sure where exactly it is, but have been told that there is one in a small chapel off the north transept. It is I understand a depiction of Santiago Matamoros that is deemed politically incorrect at present...

I'm a little confused. Now it appears there are several different tours offered at the Cathedral. Can someone tell me for SURE which of these is what we used to call the Cathedral Rooftop Tour? https://visitas.catedraldesantiago.es/en-GB/venta-de-entradas

Hi, Can anyone tell me the name of the Pilipino priest that says the English Mass at the Cathedral de Compostela? He has walked 3 Caminos himself. He is about 40-50ish years old. I want to send him some information, but I have forgotten his name. Does anyone know of the mailing address to the...

Read/watch this splendid reportage from CBS news dated 26/12/2021. Reconstructing Notre Dame Cathedral After watching this, in the truest sense, ...Godspeed.

I know that if you ask the internet for information you will get answers that conflict with each other. The cathedral website does not state how much charcoal is used in the Botafumeiro [Bfo from now on, it's easier to type), and I would have no problem if everybody said "some charcoal is put...
