Don't feel sorry for us in Madrid ... it has been sunny since Wednesday here. Seems the rain has gone away (perhaps it's going to visit England) and everyone's getting their sunglasses out..

i think i missed the celebration of anho xubliar xacabeo because i went to mass in the santiago cathedral at midday yesterday and didn't see that type of mass with the botafumeiro.
That (holiday) would be la Purisima.

Sorry if I misled you about the Botafumeiro. The año Júbilar Xacobeo should have begun with the First Sunday of Advent (beginning of the Ecclesiastical Year), 30 noviembre. Other than on the feastday of Santiago Apostol, I always saw the Botafumeiro bit at the Pilgrims' Mass {Saturdays) during Jubilee years. But you say you were at Mass in the Basilica (Obradoiro) Sunday, 7 Dec. I guess we got our signals crossed.
