Fatima, Portugal

I have a day off from the Albergue so I signed up for a tour to Fatima and Coimbra, both of which are south of Porto.
Fatima is a religious site similar to Lourdes in France. Three shepherd children saw a series of apparitions in 1917 that they came to understand were Mary giving them guidance and that holy area became Fatima. Now Portuguese people and others from around the world travel to Fatima to worship and pray for miracles. Pilgrimages to Fatima follow a blue arrow similar to the yellow arrow used to find Santiago de Compostela. The site is beautiful and there's a special energy here. Bom Caminho!Read more
