Nice shot Ivar!
Agreed!!! This is a beautiful picture and it says so many things as you look at everything in the picture.Beautiful shot. Will be volunteering in the Oficina de Peregrinos late August. Looking forward to seeing the cathedral without scaffolding to the plaza!! thanks for everything you do, Ivar.
Oh, great. Is it a new experience for you guys? For me, it is.Agreed!!! This is a beautiful picture and it says so many things as you look at everything in the picture.
Also Joseph, Patty and I will be taking over for you in the Pilgrims Office on 10 Sept. See you then!!
Beautiful, thank you. I will be there on 28 and 29 September, God willing.
Thank you T2andreo. Very informative and appreciated....EdAlso, the Portico de la Gloria is once again open, after a 10-year renovation. The queue, and entry is separate from entry to the Cathedral. The queue is on the west side, main entry to the Cathedral.
Presently, the lines are running 2 hours or so. They permit a tranche if 25 persons in for 15 minutes. The site is open from 08:00 to 22:00, 7 days a week.
The entry to get into the Cathedral proper remains through the south transept, up the stairs at Plaza Praterias. The exit continues via the north transept.
National Geographic recently ran an article featuring restoration of the historically important Portico de la Gloria. IMHO, these are the best high-resolution color photos of the architectural and sculptural details that you will find anywhere.
Here is a link to the Spanish edition...

I am here, working at the Pilgrim Office since 8 July. My last day is 11 August. As always, it is challenging, exhausting, and exhilarating, all at the same time.
Hope this works...and helps.

OMG, those pictures are absolutely amazing. You should post them on another thread, t2. I can’t imagine how anyone can look at those pictures and not be filled with awe, thinking, as I always do when I see these things, that there is absolutely nothing I will ever do in my life that will be admired and loved by people more than a thousand years from now.Also, the Portico de la Gloria is once again open, after a 10-year renovation.
