Santiago Cathedral - scaffolding coming down...

New Original Camino Gear Designed Especially with The Modern Peregrino In Mind!
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.
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)
 
Get a spanish phone number with Airalo. eSim, so no physical SIM card. Easy to use app to add more funds if needed.
Without scaffolding - at night from the park.P1010185.JPG
 
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!
 
Down bag (90/10 duvet) of 700 fills with 180 g (6.34 ounces) of filling. Mummy-shaped structure, ideal when you are looking for lightness with great heating performance.

€149,-
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.
 
The focus is on reducing the risk of failure through being well prepared. 2nd ed.
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 :)
