It's true. In the summer there are many pilgrims and tourists. But I was very lucky. Despite the large number of people, I stood in line for Madonna a little more than an hour. I was able to look souvenir shops, take a walk and have plenty of pictures. I even got to the children's choir while I was standing. They have angelic voices.

An hour in a line is quite a lot. You have quite a good patience :)
