Mass?

Camino Frances (2018)
Is there Mass available on the route from SJPP to Santiago? I would love to go a couple times a week, but if there is not a Catholic Church available that often, then I just need to find one for Sundays.

Most village churches along the Camino Frances now offer a mass in the evening, usually around 7.oo pm. Your hospitalero or innkeeper will likely have the exact time but, if not, older women in the pueblo will know. The presence of pilgrims is generally warmly welcomed by villagers and almost as often by the priests.
 
The one from Galicia (the round) and the one from Castilla & Leon. Individually numbered and made by the same people that make the ones you see on your walk.

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.

Most towns / villages do have at least one church, most of which are hundreds of years old. When you stop walking for the day, you may inquire at the albergue when and where Mass is being held. If desired, it can become pretty much a daily event.
 
We did miss Mass 2 times on the Frances when we could not find one on Saturday or Sunday and missed even more than that on the Portuguese. In one town we were informed on a Saturday that their weekly Mass was on Monday. When we got to the next town on Sunday we found out that their one Mass a week was on Friday. Unfortunately there are many more parishes than priests, and so they have to visit them to say Mass on different days. That said, we took the opportunity to attend Mass every chance we had during the week.
 
The 2024 Camino guides will be coming out little by little. Here is a collection of the ones that are out so far.
Is there an app for finding the Mass times in Spain? This could be convenient for planning the day's walk.
 
No app of which I am aware, but see this map for a list of churches - click on each for details of services. Perhaps you can bookmark it on the browser of your smartphone.

Thanks. I also found a website misas.org that looks potentially very helpful.
