FATIMA, CENTRAL PORTUGAL

Fatima, now one of the most visited towns in Portugal, was once a small, rural village.

Today Fatima, which is known at the 'altar of Portugal' attracts thousands of pilgrims and tourists each year due to the visions three young children experienced in 1917.

Casa das Flores Bed & Breakfast is only a 30 minute drive from Fatima, which is home to one of the most important shrines in the Roman Catholic world.
