Time of past OR future Camino
july 2016
We are walking from Burgos in July and planning to arrive in Santiago about 20th.
I have heard that the cathedral in Santiago is shut for renovations at present.
Does anyone know when it will reopen for the pilgrim mass?

They continue to do the Pilgrim Mass at noon and occasionally swing the botafumeiro. There are a lot of repairs, and there is netting on the outside of the cathedral, but it is open!!

Hi, I am due to walk from Pedrouzo to Santiago de Compostela tomorrow and hope to make the Noon Pilgrim’s Mass. Can you tell me where Pilgrims can leave their backpacks and are small tote bags allowed on the Cathedral?
Thank you!
 
Oh, I didnt see you message in time!
Last time I was there pilgrims could not take backpacks - only VERY SMALL bags were allowed. Hopefully you didnt have any issues going in and had a nice experience with the mass :)
