If superb climate, picturesque
sites, amazing scenery, and time for
devotion and worship sound appealing, then welcome to the Pilgrimage
to Fatima and Lourdes tour.
On the 14th February 1858,
an event took place which would drastically change the future
of a little mountain market town of 4000 people, and turn it
into one of the most sought after pilgrimage centres of the
world.
In 2008, Lourdes is celebrating the 150th
anniversary of the first apparition with a number of events,
especially during the pilgrimage season. The Lourdes authorities
have set up a website dedicated to 2008:
