The moving Chapel of the Apparitions and the impressive Basilica of Our Lady of the Rosary, housing the tombs of the shepherd children and Sister Lúcia, are deeply touching destinations.

Just 3 kilometers from Fátima lies Valinhos, the modest village where the children lived during the 1917 apparitions. As you explore this site, immerse yourself in the humble lives of the local families and gain insight into the hardships they faced at the time. Francisco and Jacinta, the brave siblings, later succumbed to the Spanish flu, highlighting the fragility of life amidst the extraordinary apparitions at Fátima. Valinhos, a silent witness to history, offers a touching glimpse into this pivotal moment in time.
On such a special day, we recommend a memorable culinary experience at Tia Alice Restaurant in Fátima (not included in the price), widely regarded as one of the best in Portugal. This family-run gem, led by the remarkable Tia Alice, offers a small but carefully curated menu where every dish is a culinary masterpiece. Highlights include Bacalhau Gratinado (Gratinated Cod), Arroz de Marisco (Seafood Rice), Vitela (Veal), and Arroz de Pato (Duck Rice). If you’re lucky, you may even have the honor of meeting Tia Alice herself, an 83-year-old chef who continues to shine in the kitchen. This is a unique opportunity to savor authentic Portuguese cuisine in a warm and welcoming atmosphere. (Reservations are very difficult to secure).
