Overview

This is a great opportunity for christians to visit three nice sanctuaries located in 3 different countries: Montserrat is the main shrine in the spanish region of Catalonia. You can touch the Black Madona and ask for your miracle.

In Sanctuary of Meritxell you will enjoy the small villages and countryside and the story of this beatiful lady, patron saint of Andorra, a tiny country by the Pyrenees.

Our Lady of Lourdes is by far the most popular lady and sanctuary all over France. Don't forget to fill up a bottle with holy water from the place the girl Bernadette found Mary, mother of God.

If you really enjoy visiting Marian Sanctuaries (Sanctuaries dedicated to Virgin Mary), we can add 2 more days to our tour and we will complete the Marian Routes. You will get 5 stamps from the 5 Marian Sanctuaries in a special passport. Contact with me for more info about this possibility.
