Overview of your Porto tour

Fatima is one of the most famous Marian shrines in the world! The Valinhos correspond to the land that the three little shepherds of Fátima roamed from their homes in Aljustrel to Cova da Iria to graze their flocks. It was in this place that two of the apparitions of the Angel of Portugal (or Angel of Peace) took place in 1916 (and where the children even learned the Angel's Prayers), and an apparition of the Virgin Mary on August 19, 1917 . [two] Valinhos are visited by thousands of Portuguese and foreign pilgrims who make the Via-Sacra route to the Hungarian Calvary, visit the Chapel of Santo Estêvão da Hungary and from there go on to visit Casa de Lúcia and Casa de Francisco and Jacinta Marto in the village of Aljustrel. Explore the Shrine of Our Lady Fatima including the world-renowned Basilica with its spectacular stained glass windows and paintings, the Chapel of Apparitions, Statutes of the visionaries of Fatima and the Monument to the Sacred Heart of Jesus...
