Hi
I read somewhere that there might be extra masses conducted during the Jubilee year to cope with the influx of pligrims - is that true and does anyone know of the times and locations of these masses?
thanks
Great location
it took a while to find the place, but it is literally 200m from the N entrance of the cathedral and the first evening we were there, we were treated to a carillion of bells announcing the election of a new Pope ! The rooms are charming and the people who run it really lovely.
that sounds great !! means we don't have to pack so many warm clothes :) And I bet by the middle of April when my friend and I start walking it will be nice and warm (but yeah, we'll still bring waterproofs for Galician rain)
Hi Ivar,
thanks again. the travel agent replied positively, but I have managed to book tickets via Tiknet, so things are sorted out. :)
Am really looking forward to this trip
I've been trying to register online to book tickets in advance - going from Santiago to Leon The webpage doesnt have enough spaces to accomodate my local address and wont accept credit card info. Does anyone know of trustworthy local travel agents who might do this for me ?
awaiting reply
hi Ivar, thanks :) they replied once to say how much their rates were (that was in Dec 04) but have not replied to any further mails. Have sent them another one via a Santiago tourism hotel booking website. Their fax number doesnt seem to work. Anyhow, will give it a few more...
has anyone tried Campanas San Juan? I have been unsuccesfully trying to get a confirmation of room booking from them and no one speaks English the last time I phoned them
