Stop At: Museu do Santuario de Fatima, Fatima 2495 Portugal
Our tour begins in the Sanctuary of Our Lady of Rosary of Fátima, better known as the Sanctuary of Fátima, one of the most important Marian shrines in the world. On May 13, 1917, three children, known as the three shepherds, named Lucia dos Santos, 10 years old, and their cousins, Francisco and Jacinta Marto, 9 and 7 years old, were grazing a small flock when they witnessed the apparition of the Virgin Mary, who later made herself known as our Lady of Rosary. It was registered five more apparitions in the next five months, being the last one, on October 13, attended by 70,000 people approximately. As requested by of our Lady, a chapel was erected in her honour at the site of the apparitions, known as the Chapel of Apparitions. Since 1917, the shrine has been visited by thousands and thousands of pilgrims from all over the world. Pope Francis visited the sanctuary in May 2017 to commemorate the centenary of the apparitions of our Lady.

Stop At: Nazare, Nazare, Leiria District, Central Portugal
Afterwards, we invite you to take a break for a fantastic lunch by the sea. We will take you to Nazaré, land of legends and faith, and of course, delicious fresh fish and seafood. The legend tells that, on the 14th of September 1182, in a dense fog, the lord D. Fuas Rupinho was hunting, when he saw a deer, which he immediately started to chase. However, when he realized, he was on the edge of a huge precipice. Right next to it, there was a grotto where the image of our Lady nursing Baby Jesus was venerated. Knowing this place, the lord pleaded the Virgin Mary for his life and his horse stopped miraculously. As a symbol of his gratitude, he ordered the construction of a chapel on the grotto, the Hermitage of Memory, also known as the Chapel of our Lady of Nazaré, which dates from the XII century and it still houses today the miraculous image. You will surely visit this beautiful chapel. Nazaré is also internationally known for the biggest waves in the world ever surfed, which are registered in the Guinness World Records.
