This morning, we headed to the famous Sanctuary of Our Lady of Remedies. Located at the top of Monte de Santo Estevao, it's an integral part of the panorama view of the city. It has a small chapel that was built in 1750. The staircase that leads down to the city (686 steps) began being built in 1777 and was completely in 1905.
After making our way down the stairs, we toured around before sitting for a drink and a snack. They sure aren't stingy on their pours!
Every year from the last Thursday of August to September 9th, they have a celebration called The Nossa Senhora do Remedios, known as "The Pilgramage of Portugal"
Thousands enjoy 3 weeks of shows, exhibitions, concerts, parades, festivals, cultural & sporting events. In the days leading up to the pilgrimage, festivities include a luminous parade, which happens to be tonight.Read more
