Your day
Morning – to Fátima. We collect you in Lisbon and drive about 1h30 north. On the way, your guide shares the story of Lúcia, Francisco and Jacinta and the events of 1917.
The Sanctuary. We visit the Chapel of the Apparitions, built where Our Lady is said to have appeared, and the Basilica of Our Lady of the Rosary, where the three shepherds are buried. We then see the modern Basilica of the Holy Trinity. If you wish, we plan the day around a Mass, the Rosary or lighting a candle.
Lunch. A quiet lunch in Fátima.
Afternoon – Aljustrel and Valinhos. A short drive away lies Aljustrel, the shepherds’ home village, where their simple family houses can still be visited. A peaceful path leads to Valinhos, site of one of the apparitions.
Return. Back to your Lisbon hotel in the afternoon.
