Entry to the cathedral is free, but the building explains itself poorly. A guided tour walks the naves, stops at the Pórtico da Gloria and ends at the tomb of Saint James beneath the main altar, with the botafumeiro's story told along the way. Roughly an hour, easy to fit into an arrival afternoon.
