    Morning mass and the botafumeiro

    I could be wrong, but my information on about to see BOTAFUMEIRO swinging, one has to pay 450 Euros about week in advance and you will get the time about when they will swing it, you get 10 reserved chairs to sit , watch and enjoy. Wish I had 450 Euros to spare , or anyone need one more...

    Botafumeiro Update

    Walking the Camino ( from SJPP)at 72 ,in the first week of June 2022, was a gift, once in a life time, nothing could get that spiritual high . For, three days after completing my Camino , went to the mass, just to have a glimpse of the BOTAFUMEIRO, but was not lucky to witness it live. Oh well...

    Botafumeiro Update

    sad and pathetic , went three days to Santiago Cathedral mass after completing my first Camino at age 72 from SJPP, hoping luck will strike to see it swinging , but.. how many chances one have in life from afar ? I understand , it is at their discretion to make it swing or not. Disappointed...

    Botafumeiro Update

    Maryloufrommedison , you are absolutely right about the Camino walk, and I agree. But the thrill and joy to complete the walk , a rare gift in life and the BOTAFUMEIRO would have made my Camino almost perfect. Just my take on it. Missed it,

    Botafumeiro Update

    Captain Bonnie , My first wish to get to Santiago on the CF from SJPP was without injury and other health issues, and the second was to see the BOTAFUMEIRO swinging, after spending thousands of Euros on the Way to Santiago in France ( 3 days) and Spain (total 46 days ) I was hoping to be lucky...
