My impressions as of Jan 4:
Masses in general are at 7 or 7:30pm(so after your walk for the day) if you stay in a pilgrim-friendly town. Listen for the church bells going crazy. Usually, at the half or quarter hour, you will hear one ring. At the full hour you will often hear the # of strikes = to the hour it is (ie 10 strikes for 10am) 5, 15 or 30 min before mass, the bells will just ring crazily in a seemingly haphazard fashion.
Doors to churches generally remain locked until 30 min or 1 hr before mass, depending on the church, especially in the winter, even the ones that say they are open all day.
I'm glad you're safe and doing well Christina! God Bless and God speed!
