Trip Details

We depart Denver to connect with our overnight flight with dinner arriving the next day. We enjoy in-flight movies, dinner and breakfast aloft.
We arrive in Lisbon, where we are met and given a short orientation tour of Lisbon before the drive to Santarem, the site of the famous Eucharistic Miracle at Santarem. We celebrate our Mass here. After lunch on our own, the balance of the day is free for rest, prayer and leisure. In the evening, we join the International Rosary Procession in Fatima. Dinner and overnight at our hotel.
This full day is devoted to visiting the Basilica and Shrine of Our Lady of Fatima and nearby hamlets of Aljustrel and Valinhos. We join the English language concelebrated Mass at the Chapel of Apparitions. We visit the birthplaces of Francisco, Jacinta and Lucia, the Loca de Anjo and the Holy Way. In the evening, we join the International Rosary Procession. Dinner and overnight at our hotel.
Today we depart Fatima, passing by the ancient capital and university city of Coimbra, where Lucia, the last Fatima visionary lived as a cloistered nun. We continue northwards into Spain and on to Santiago de Compostela, one of the most famous shrines in the western world. This is the site of the ancient pilgrimage to the Shrine of St. James. Tradition holds that the Apostle James was cast ashore here preaching for seven years and being responsible for the conversion of Spain before returning to the Holy Land. The Cathedral of the 11th to the 13th century with its splendor, and the portico are masterworks of Romanesque art. On arrival this afternoon, we enjoy a visit to the Cathedral and the Old City here. While dinner is included at our hotel, the adventurous might consider enjoying the varied delights of the Galatian restaurants in the nearby Old City.
Following our walk to Mass at the Cathedral of Santiago we return to our hotel for breakfast and then head east to Santander along one of the many “Routes of St. James.” While this is our longest coach day, the wonderful scenery of mountains and sea awe us as our roads hug the northern Spanish seacoast. Lunch on our own is taken along our route. Dinner and overnight in Santander.
This morning following Mass in a local parish church, we continue eastward along the Basque coast via San Sebastian and cross the border into France. In the late afternoon, we arrive in Lourdes for dinner and overnight at our hotel. In the evening, we join the Torchlight Rosary Procession.
This day is spent in devotion to Our Lady of Lourdes. We celebrate Mass at the Grotto, with a morning orientation visit to the Shrine and a walking tour of Lourdes, visiting Boly Mill, where St. Bernadette was born, the Cachot, formerly used as a jail, where she lived during the apparitions, and the parish church. This afternoon is free for private devotions, Eucharistic Procession, the Blessing of the Sick or the legendary, healing waters of the miraculous Lourdes Spring. Dinner and overnight at our hotel. In the evening, we can once again join the Torchlight Marian Procession.
This morning we depart Lourdes and traverse the Pyrenees southward to Zaragoza, a city founded by the Romans. Its luxuriant vegetation, with its many cascades and grottos, make it a miniature Switzerland in the middle of arid upper Aragon. We experience various city sites highlighted by the paintings of Francisco Goya, one of Spain’s most famous artists and a champion of the poor and vulnerable. We visit the #1 Marian shrine of Spain, the Pilar Basilica, which commemorates the apparition of Our Lady of the Pillar to St. James in 40 AD. We celebrate Mass here. Dinner and overnight at our hotel.
This morning, we drive to Barcelona where we grab lunch on our own in the famous Gothic quarter bisected by Las Ramblas. Afterwards, we enjoy a spectacular view from the top of the Montjuic hill, pass by various city sites and visit the Church of the Holy Family or La Sagrada Familia, the masterpiece of Antoni Gaudi set to be finally completed in 2026 after 140 years of construction. We conclude our pilgrimage with a celebratory dinner at a local restaurant. Overnight at our hotel.
We transfer to the airport for our flight home with unforgettable memories to cherish always.
