    Pilgrim's Mass

    Good Morning from Utah! I am wondering about the Pilgrim's Mass. I hear that Mon-Friday the only Pilgrim's Mass is at 12 Noon. I thought I read somewhere that there is also a Pilgrim's Mass on Friday evenings at 730pm. Does anyone know for sure? It is an event that I cannot miss! Thank you!

    2016. Holy Year. Busy Camino??

    I read recently that the pope announced 2016 as a holy year. I understand that during a holy year the number of pilgrims increase dramatically due to religious reasons. If I plan a 2016 Camino, will accomodation be a problem? Are there any particular months to avoid? Any other information...

    Eastern Orthodox on the Camino Frances?

    Are there any Eastern Orthodox Christians here on the Forum that have made the pilgrimage? If so, can you recommend any Orthodox churches along the way? I have heard that there a few Serbian churches. Any other tips you can share will be most appreciated.

Because we have a full 38 days available, I'm looking at side trips as well (e.g. Santo Domino de Silos). I'd like to maximize our opportunities to stay at the...

    Botafumeiro

    The climax of the camino must be when the Botafumeiro is swinging during the church service. I read that it will swing on a limited number of days and also when 300€ is paid. By reading many reports it seems that the Botafumeiro also swings on (ir)regulary base. How much chance do you have...

    Pilgrim's Masses

    Does anyone have information on which villages/churches hold Pilgrim's Masses along the Frances? I know there was a lovely Mass at SJPP and another at Viana, but those were the only two we attended.
