I walked the French Way and Pilgrim Masses were offered most evenings of every townI stayed in....I was wondering if there were many Pilgrim Masses besides the Cathedral in Oviedo on the way to Melide? Thanks-

I walked the Primitivo in May-June 2022 and don't recall evening mass services for pilgrims after Oviedo and before Melide. There is a beautiful pilgrim's mass in O Pedrouzo, which was the night before arriving in Santiago.

Hi Kate, there's a mass every evening with pilgrim blessing at Fonsagrada. When you arrive, go to the pilgrim office (adjoining the church) for your stamp and they'll tell you the time (7 or 8ish). I had a lovely experience there - I suddenly got very cold aftwr a long day's walk and the old lady sitting behind me noticed, so she insisted on lending me her shawl and walking me back to the albergue.
There are several masses a day in Lugo Cathedral:

Since the French way meets up I remember the Mass in O Pedrouzo too and it was a great joy Thanks for sharing

How do you keep track of such things? Are these in guide books? Do you find out about them here and then keep notes on them in your guidebook? I wished for such masses and prayer services but didn't do the research before hand. I would love to hear how people track these things. I do not carry a phone (except buried deep within my pack for the flight to and fro).

Feel free to move to a more useful spot on the forum.

Are you asking about how to find the Masses? On the French way- I just asked at my hostel every night (in my broken Spanish) and was given a time and directions. (I didn't plan ahead or read guide books.)
I was asking this question about the Primitivo as we are considering this path, but was not sure how "remote" the experience would be and an important factor was the opportunity to attend church as part of our Camino along the way.
