    Will I get to see the Botafumiero?

    There is one way to increase your chances of seeing the Botafumeiro swing. As folks have pointed out, tour groups will pay for it. In fact they often coordinate with other groups arriving at the same time, to share the cost. So, sometime during your last few days, as you approach Santiago...
