Like you, I was just.... wow... thrilled with Santiago de Compostela in particular and in Galicia in general. I'm happy to hear you were able to experience the Botafumeiro. I'd heard so often from (message board member) Eddie - whom we haven't seen for quite awhile now - about this and it must be something special to witness
Hey, MM: I'm still alive & kicking.
As a matter of fact, I am headed for Santiago (my Jubilee Year pilgrimage) in 2-weeks.
The Botafumeiro can be terrifying
if you're seated along the aisle in the pews north or south of the main Altar.
There's some good info here (about the Saturday 6:00 PM Mass for ex.). I'll be flying out Sunday (20 Jun) at about 07:00.
