This is an experience prepared with a lot of commitment and care so that you can look through the constructions of the Sanctuary of Fátima to what they lead us to contemplate. On our guided tour you will learn what the foundations of the message of Fatima are, many unforgettable stories and we will also make a brief spiritual portrait of the Three Little Shepherds of Fatima.
