Arriving in Santiago on Easter Sunday or Monday

[Stellere]

We were looking at the calendar yesterday, figuring out flights - and we realized that we'll probably be arriving in Santiago on Easter weekend (either Easter Sunday or Easter Monday).

What will that mean? Is there anything that we should know in advance? I think it will be very special to finish our pilgrimage on Easter weekend, but I'm also concerned that it will be crowded beyond belief in Santiago. Thoughts?

I recommend showing up for the 1200 pilgrims mass at 1045 and wait, if you want a seat at mass, if you show up at 1115, you'll be standing or sitting on the floor, and sit to the left or right wing of the altar to get the best view of the botufumerio swinging.
