July 2012
July's main event in Santiago is the Apostle Festival during the last days of the month. You should not miss the fireworks on the last night at the Cathedral square. Another interesting experience is the Mass within the temple, on one of the few days when the botafumeiro is swung back and forth to spread the frankincense.
