The Botafumeiro

[Tony Maguire]

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

See this link.

It will be a surprise.

A larger group might have paid for it...

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!

@Tony Maguire: And? Did you go yesterday evening at 19:30 (Sunday) or this morning at 9:30 (Monday) and did it swing?

Its pretty much hit and miss. It depends if a pilgrim group has pre organised (i.e paid) for it to swing.
