Santiago Cathedral - scaffolding coming down...

[JohnnieWalker]

Well some of it anyway! The North Tower has been finished for some time and now they have started to remove the scaffolding little by little. Very clean it is indeed!

Yay!

Can't wait to see in in person!

Yippee!

Hi Laura, in about 7 to 8 weeks you will be there to see the cathedral with your one eyes. And than go to the pilgrims mass. It will be great. Wish you well and a Buen Camino, Peter.

Yippeee... I was there in December 2013 and did not know about this.... it was not as spectacular as I wished for because of all those scaffoldings... SO I guess I just need to go back! ;o)

Without scaffolding - at night from the park.

Just have to go back in a few years when they finally finish the whole thing. Twice in Santiago and never seen that unfettered view! This year there was even more scaffolding. But it didn't detract from the satisfaction of arrival!

Thanks for the great news John.

At least it's only on the outside, like my wrinkles.

I never did think it was the most aesthetically pleasing building in the world but then I don't think my husband is handsome either and I love him to bits. And he scrubs up well after a shower, as will our wonderful cathedral.

LOL

Hopefully it will be clear of scaffolding by mid-May. Wishful thinking, but it will be great to be back to see the Cathedral.

Does anyone have any updates on when it's expected for repairs to be done? I'll be walking May of next year and I'm hoping everything will be finished
