Hello
Getting ready for our first Camino in a month!!
We just saw a picture of the cathedral in Santiago with scaffolding & heard it is closed for repairs.
Is this true?!

Get a spanish phone number with Airalo. eSim, so no physical SIM card. Easy to use app to add more funds if needed.
There was someone on Facebook posting that the cathedral was closed and services were being held in a nearby church, which just sounded strange. A number of people tried to point out that they've been to mass in the cathedral in the last six months.

The Mass is not always at the High Altar but sometimes in a side chapel but like already stated : always in the cathedral.
Here are the hours.

But if you have some time to spend in Santiago then I would recommend you to visit some smaller parish churches too. Lots of choice!
 
Scaffoldings? All the time. That happens with old buildings.
Actually, you can see (at least, most of the time) how are the facades and main altar of the cathedral -live.
See http://www.santiagoturismo.com/camaras-web
Be patient, because apparently they can support only a limited amount of viewers.
Good sights!
 
The focus is on reducing the risk of failure through being well prepared. 2nd ed.
