Holy Week ceremonies 2024

Time of past OR future Camino
Portuguese (2017) ; Frances SJPDP - Burgos (2022)
I know this is planning WAY in advance, but ...

I hope to resume my camino in Burgos in March 2024 and attend the Holy Week ceremonies (Holy Thursday evening, Good Friday afternoon and the Easter Vigil on Saturday evening) in towns as I go.
This means I need 3 towns in succession that are big enough to have a church (or religious house) in which the ceremonies are likely to be held and be open to the public.
At the moment, I'm looking at O Cebreiro, Triacastela and Sarria. My main doubt is about O Cebreiro on the Thursday evening.
Could someone walking the route this week please give me an idea as to whether or not my plan may work?
I'm quite open to changing the towns - any 3 towns in succession between Burgos and Santiago is all I'm looking for.

Thanks in advance and to those on the way - Buen Camino!!
 
Ideal pocket guides for during & after your Camino. Each weighs only 1.4 oz (40g)!
Most moving Mass I have ever attended was
In O Cebreiro, but it’s a small parish and village so I’m not sure what type of Easter events they support. Sometimes these small, intimate places are the most profound moments.
 
Three successive villages during a 4 day period brings to mind the Cathedral in Astorga, the chapel in Rabanal with their evening Vespers service, a stop at the Cruz de Ferro and then Molinaseca or Ponferrada on Easter Sunday,.
 
The 2024 Camino guides will be coming out little by little. Here is a collection of the ones that are out so far.

Likewise!

There was only the priest and myself; and I’m not Roman Catholic; but we managed. He had missals in a number of languages. There was an object of significance in the church; but my memory’s not what it was.

I’d be confident that the full set of Easter services would be taking place there.
 
The first edition came out in 2003 and has become the go-to-guide for many pilgrims over the years. It is shipping with a Pilgrim Passport (Credential) from the cathedral in Santiago de Compostela.

Probably the chalice and paten linked to the story of a miracle during mass in the church.
