I was there last week, I think we got to Santiago on Oct 3rd (I think). We went to the mass at noon, and it wasn't swung then. One of the priests was celebrating his 100th birthday that day! We then went back inside the cathedral later that night, and realized after we were in, the 7:30 mass...
I just got back yesterday from the Camino. I think I was expecting it to be worse - I noticed the TP at times, but for the most part, was enjoying the views a little higher off the ground. I saw the odd person going into the bushes, but tried not to watch to see if they carried their stuff...
Glad to hear the planned strike dates are postponed....for now. We arrive in Madrid on Sept. 22nd...one of the dates listed. Fingers are crossed that we aren't affected...and if we are...not much I can do I about it.
We (myself Darren, wife Maria, friend Gabby) will be starting from Astorga on Sept. 23rd. We're from Calgary, Alberta, Canada.
*Note - Edited....We will arrive in Astorga on Sept. 22nd and start on the 23rd.
