Hi

I am starting my Camino Coastal Route from Porto on Sunday 15th of September is it possible to get my pilgrims passport stamped at the Cathedral on a Sunday ? Thanks J
 
3rd Edition. More content, training & pack guides avoid common mistakes, bed bugs etc
Most Cathedrals are open on Sundays. Porto's is open from 9:00am to 7:30pm. Mass is at 11:00am. I've found suggestions that the "offices" close for several hours after mass. Presumably a stamp would be available from the office that sells tickets for touristic visits.
If you are just seeking a stamp then before Mass would be good timing.
 
It should be fine, as the cathedral is open on Sundays and holds masses. I think they were at 9am and 11am when I was there two years ago, but not sure what time they are now.
 
The one from Galicia (the round) and the one from Castilla & Leon. Individually numbered and made by the same people that make the ones you see on your walk.

It should be fine, as long as you are willing to wait until after 9:00 am to start. From my habits walking the Camino Frances in July/August a few years prior, that seemed a really late start to me (but worth it, as I wanted to start at the Cathedral). As it turned out, it gets light a little later in October than in July/August and I generally started walking on the CP somewhat later than I did on the CF - but still well before 9:00 (except that first day).
 
The focus is on reducing the risk of failure through being well prepared. 2nd ed.
I believe that the cathedral is not only open but the stamp is available on entry and self stamp or at least that's what I did although when I was there this time last year the cathedral floor was under construction and I had limited access 🤠
