We will leave Lisbon in the morning and go to Fátima. This portuguese city is well known as a religious place for Cristian pilgrims and its world-wide fame is due to the report of apparitions of the Virgin Mary reported by three little shepherds from 13 of May until 13 of October of 1917. This series of apocaliptic visions and prophecies became known as Fatima’s Secret!
