It looks like it is until Tuesday... then we will see. But the situation is not great, so not surprised if it continues.Hi Ivar, is it just for the holiday weekend?
Thank you, Ivar.As feared, Santiago will close down today at 3pm. It is unclear what/if there are exceptions to this. More will be known later as the day goes on and tomorrow.
Added later: it looks like this lockdown is until Tuesday. But the situation is not great, so not surprised if it goes on longer.
For now:

The decree has been published now, see here for the version in Castellano https://www.xunta.gal/dog/Publicados/excepcional/2020/20201030/2474/AnuncioC3B0-301020-1_es.pdf .it's a perimeter lockdown of the city until Tuesday. Started at 3pm today Friday and ends Tuesday, not sure at what time. HOWEVER, it may be extended on Tuesday if there isn't a significant improvement in covid cases.
Yes! Correct. Places to stay are still open unless the owners choose to close. But the new restrictions have to do with restricting movement in and out of the city.Hostels and hotels stay open, right?
This is just the borders of the specified areas being closed, right?
I would read the pdf above from the Xunta... if nothing is mentioned there about pilgrims, then pilgrims can not enter Santiago. I am on mobile now, but will see if I can read it myself later.The news was spread around that pilgrims could go in to get a compostella, but had to leave the same day, without sleeping in SdC. Could anyone confirm if that is the case or not?
Thanks!
you're right, in the decree there's nothing about it ending tuesday, however, the conselleiro de sanidade specifically said today at the press briefing that the lockdown would be revised by tuesday.The decree has been published now, see here for the version in Castellano https://www.xunta.gal/dog/Publicados/excepcional/2020/20201030/2474/AnuncioC3B0-301020-1_es.pdf .
It takes effect at 3 pm on 30 October 2020 but I can't see an end date (my Spanish is poor, though). Just that the situation will be continuously monitored and revised within a period of maximum 7 days.
There doesn’t seem to be anything official, just some “confusion” on the official side.The news was spread around that pilgrims could go in to get a compostella, but had to leave the same day, without sleeping in SdC. Could anyone confirm if that is the case or not?
Thanks!
A friend on mine on the camino Portuguese had to turn back and return to Porto in March as the border was closed and crossing at TUI prohibited - so I think you will find they can and have been closed before.The Camino are public footpaths and roads so cannot be closed down.
Thanks for the up to date info I'm now in Galicia so will keep heading towards Santiago. My understanding is that Santiago is shut over the holiday and then will be decided on Tuesday whether it will open or not. To all others trying to complete, buen Camino.
Why do some people think they can disregard the health and safety of others in a country they don't even live in. That is totally nuts!!! Anthikes says they are walking the Norte next April and don't care about the shut down, insanity!!!The Camino are public footpaths and roads so cannot be closed down.

We are also now in Galicia, hoping to be in Santiago on Friday.Thanks for the up to date info I'm now in Galicia so will keep heading towards Santiago.

I feel even more blessed that I walked the Camino when I did. My thoughts are wiith you and everyone iin Spain and elsewhere who are being affected by the pandemic.As feared, Santiago will close down today at 3pm.

As a 2018 Portuguese pilgrim I was looking forward to my Oct 2020 trek, unfortunately this will not happen this year but next year, I hope. Stay safe everyone - this is a serious virus. Thank you Ivar for your continued updates and I look forward to meeting up in 2021.As feared, Santiago will close down today at 3pm. It is unclear what/if there are exceptions to this.

Anyone who has lost a loved one to covid might not find this so funny. A lot of us have, and I hope you don't @anthikes...
Maybe I am missing something.
Have a look at the Lockdowns thread, although we need to recognize that any "prediction" of lockdowns will be less reliable than predictions of weather during that period.Is there any prediction of lockdowns first Christmas to New Year In Santiago? I was planning to walk the Camino del invierno or Sanabres from 21/12-31/12 to be in Santiago on New Years Eve. How is the Hotelsituation on the caminos and in Santiago?
You are not allowed to move freely around Galicia as it is right now. You are not allowed to walk into Santiago for example. I would hold off a little longer.Is there any prediction of lockdowns first Christmas to New Year In Santiago?
