Dear Rosina and Sally,

As the last message posted by Rosina reveals she did not understand the
announcement and to clear everything up I would translate it as published
by the Galician friends of the way association in their website :

"Respecto a las visitas turísticas (con guía), se reservará un horario
único, entre las catorce y las dieciocho horas. Se intentará, además, que
estas visitas sean espaciadas. De ninguna manera se consentirán estas
visitas en horario de cultos. No se impedirá la entrada a turistas en
general, independientemente de las visitas guiadas, pero apelará a su
respeto y a la conciencia de que está en un lugar dedicado al culto del
Apóstol. A las puertas de la catedral se volverán a situar grupos de
jóvenes (no vigilantes) que informarán a todos los que lleguen de que se
encuentran en lugar sagrado, solicitando el debido respeto para el mismo."

"It will be reserved one time gap between 2 PM and 6 PM for (guided)
touristic tours. Attempts will be made to spread out this visits. No
guided tours will be allowed during mass attendance. Tourists will not be
prevented from entering the cathedral, except for guided visits, but they
will be asked their respect to the fact that they are inside the Apostle
cult-decicated place. Groups of young persons (not watchmen) will stay at
the Cathedral doors to inform all the visitors that they are in a sacred
place, asking the proper respect to it"

I know the translation is not very good, but I wanted to do it as
litterally as possible so I would not miss any important point.

Buen Camino

Ignacio
