@simeon The website states 11:00 for the 'Capitular Mass' (that is celebrated by the Chapter of Canons of the Cathedral). This does not have to be sung, but if any one is going to be it will be this one. (I am a Catholic priest ).
The first edition came out in 2003 and has become the go-to-guide for many pilgrims over the years. It is shipping with a Pilgrim Passport (Credential) from the cathedral in Santiago de Compostela.
Ah great thanks I had no idea what a Capitularass mass was. No better way to experience a cathedral than being there for what it was built for! Imho you don't really get the spirit of a cathedral with an audio guide when it's all reduced to a history lesson. Before the forum members get upset. I won't be acting the tourist but will be partaking in the mass. I will do the tourist thing later in the day.
Ideal sleeping bag liner whether we want to add a thermal plus to our bag, or if we want to use it alone to sleep in shelters or hostels. Thanks to its mummy shape, it adapts perfectly to our body.
If you go to the collegiate church of San Isidoro, they hold a Mozarabic mass (the rite used in Spain under the Moors) once a week. IIRC this is one of the three places in Spain where this still happens-- I have tried to figure out from its website (http://www.sanisidorodeleon.org/) what the mass times were, but to no avail. I recall that the times were posted outside the church. It is about 10 minutes walk from the cathedral and perhaps 15 from the main albergue.

I was reading somewhere that some of us are doing night walks. As a natural born night owl I would love to do such walk too. Of course I can choose stage by myself (CF). But was wondering if any...
