Trip Highlights

Lisbon & Fatima
Our pilgrimage begins with exploring the beautiful city of Lisbon before spending some time in the resort town of Sintra. Then we’ll enter into the lives of the 3 Fatima visionary children (Francesco, Jacinta and Lucia), praying at their tombs and celebrating Mass at the apparition site of Our Lady of Fatima.

Madrid
We then travel to Toledo, home of the famous painter El Greco & one of the most stunning Cathedrals in Europe, before continuing on to Madrid. Here we’ll enjoy one of the largest museums in the world, the Prado Museum, as well as the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium, Plaza Mayor, Almudena Cathedral and San Lorenzo del Escorial – the largest Renaissance building in the world!

San Sebastian
From Madrid we proceed to Segovia, then Loyola, and finally San Sebastian, where we will enjoy free time exploring La Concha beach. We then continue our journey to Pamplona, then Zaragoza and finally with the Abbey of Montserrat.

Barcelona
Our pilgrimage will conclude with two nights in Barcelona. Our tour will include Park Guell, Montjuic and the world-famous Sagrada Familia, the great unfinished nineteenth-century basilica by Servant of God Antoni Gaudí.
