The Año Júbilar Xacobeo in Santiago de Compostela begins this week: If you can make it to a Misa de Peregrino (Pilgrims' Mass) in the Basilica Saturday at 11:00 AM you'll be glad you did.

They swing the Botafumeiro, a 4-foot tall incense censer during that Mass and it can be 'terrifying' if you happen to be seated in an aisle seat in the north or south apse of the Basilica. Lots of other good stuff happens in Santiago during a Jubilee year (like the Tuna Universitaria de Santiago). Since you're going to be in a'Corunha anyway, it will be worth the effort. cool

¡Buen Viaje!

Madrid is in no way what it used to be back in 1997. Maybe you think you are in Quito or Morocco now.
800.000 legal newcomers and 400.000-500.000 illegals. Everything will be a great surprise for you 6 years after your visit to Madrid.

Now you will have to take care of your personal belongings to avoid thiefs (non-spanish thiefs obviously).

Enjoy the last remanences of the true Madrid. In 10,20 years it won´t be the same (just look at the public schools and you will see why....)

- many of us on the board included, Yes, you'll find Madrid a little more diverse and fun these days. Enjoy!
