Today was my final day on the camino and after walking 20 km, I arrived at the cathedral. They closed the doors just as I arrived and the man at the entrance said we would be able to go in at 2:30. 2:30 rolled around and I had moved to the main entrance, which was still closed and the not nice lady said the entrance would be closed another hour, then pointed to a sign that said no bags of any sort are allowed inside. She wouldn't tell me where I could leave my small daypack, which was all I walked with today.
Also, you apparently can't touch the column at the entrance anymore and I was looking forward to doing that. And I somehow missed the giant pilgrim statues at Monte de Gozo as well.
I don't know, maybe it's just because I'm tired and sore, but so far Santiago itself and the cathedral in particular don't seem very pilgrim-friendly to me.
