Fatima Sanctuary
Basilica Begun in 1928 and consecrated on 7 October 1953, its 15 altars are dedicated to
the 15 mysteries of the Rosary. The painting above the high altar depicts
the Message of Our Lady to the little shepherds, prepared by the Angel of
Portugal, through their encounter with Christ in the Eucharist.
Batalha, The name and the history of the town are the history of its
Monastery of ´santa Maria da Vitória (St. Mary of the Victory). Three years
had passed from August 14th 1385, the date of the Aljubarrota battle, when the
Monastery´s construction began in fulfillment of the vow made by King John I to
the Virgin Mary. The king had promised to build a monastery if he was successful
in that historical battle. This
was a decisive battle for the consolidation of the Portuguese independence and
also for the establishment of the Avis dynasty.
The Monastery, UNESCO´s World Heritage, was built not on the battlefield,
but 3 km away, in the valley of the Lena River, to allow the presence of a
monastic community. This magnificent building is the Portuguese final Gothic
greatest monument, one of the first to receive Manuelin art decoration and one
of the most beautiful European churches of the late Middle Ages.

I wanted to write and tell you how much my mom and her sister's enjoyed
their trip to Spain. The driver was OUTSTANDING. They were so impressed
with him that they went on and on about how great he was. The Paradores
were lovely for them and they really enjoyed every day of the trip...
