9h 30m. Let’s start our inspirational journey from Lisbon to Santiago de Compostela.

Our overnight multi-day tour inspired in Religious Heritage begins with a visit to Saint Anthony's Church - built on the ruins of the birthplace of Fernando de Bulhões.

This man of faith was born between 1191 and 1195. He's still esteemed by the portuguese and people all over the world. You know him as Saint Anthony of Pádua - religious and knowledgeable; a preacher of excellence.

In this Church you can also visit the Crypt where you can see a relic of the Saint - authenticated by Bula.

Right next to the magnificent Old Cathedral you have the most scenic views over the city. The oldest and medieval part of the city extends itself to the Tagus River and to the reinvented city, after the big earthquake, in 1755.

Heading north, towards Fátima, one hour from Lisbon, our next stop is the city of Santarém.

The Portas do Sol viewpoint over the waters of the Tagus River has inspired famous portuguese writers in the past. And, long before that, it served as an observation, military, as Portugal was building its territory from north to south - 12th century.

We’re also going to visit the Church of the Holy Miracle. This church is home to a 13th century Eucharistic miracle. It is also one of the most famous shrines among  its kind. It is visited by thousands of pilgrims every year coming from all over the world. 

Overnight in Fátima. 

The Sanctuary of Fátima is one of the most cherished Marian Shrines in the world. It will be our first visit of this short day. You have free afternoon to explore and feel Fátima. 

At the Sanctuary we’ll visit the Chapel of the Apparitions – where our Lady appeared for five times and talked to the little shepherds. Also the large holm-oak where they used to pray the Rosary; the Colonnade with its 200 columns and religious statues and the Basilica of Our Lady of the Rosary of Fatima – where we have the remains of Blessed Jacinta and Francisco and also Lúcia.
